Pros

CBRE is a well respected, international platform that transacts numerous and often complicated and complex real estate transactions. The only Fortune 500 real estate company in the world.

Cons

All management decisions tend favor the top income makers often to the determent of less fortunate producers. I've had a top producer change or refuse to pay me legitimate referral fees whereas in the reverse, I paid him every dime. Management does not want to risk angering their top producers.

Pros

Honestly? Not much. The vision insurance was decent, I guess. Truthfully though, there wasn't much.

Cons

Management's refusal to allow employees freedom. I routinely got praise from the client and hit the maximum score on my goals. If things weren't done "by the book", they were wrong. The health insurance was awful. Going to self-employment, one of the things that you hear is that you're going to pay a lot for health insurance. However, I'm actually paying LESS than when I worked for CBRE. When you work for CBRE, don't consider job security something that you're going to have. I saw two employees with 15+ years for the company get laid off, with zero severance and no option to transfer elsewhere, unless they wanted to uproot their families and move states for more work and a pay cut. This is the worst company that I've ever had the displeasure to work for. If you have literally any other option of employment, please consider doing that.
