Pros

Company with big name, easy to find another job with CBRE name on your CV. You are trained to work like a machine so any other job after this will be nice and easy

Cons

Lack of training, lack of communication and unrealistic expectations. The amount of work can be easy divided between few people

Pros

Overall good company, benefits, resources, training, clients, and company events.

Cons

Upper management doesn’t actually care about you. You can report TERRIBLE managers and nothing will be done. People are full of themselves and there is no sincerity.

Pros

- Experience working on some of NYC's largest commercial property and portfolio transactions - Exposure to NYC's most prominent landlords and brokers - Adequate underwriting and investment sales brokerage experience

Cons

- Toxic work environment (eg, verbal abuse from team leadership, public shaming, top-down skapegoating, and authoritarian style management) - Unsupportive, cutthroat culture (eg, "eat or be eaten" mentality and making managers look good often at the expense of lower level employees) - Fast-paced and high-intensity workplace (eg, daily fire drills, last minute deadlines, etc) - Limited training and ongoing education ("sink or swim" approach that encourages self-education but disincentivizes positive reinforcement and collaboration among colleagues) - Long hours (100+ hours per week including weekends) and frowned upon to take PTO - Low pay relative to competitors, especially in the context of the hours and culture - Pattern of pushing employees out via PIPs ("Personal Improvement Programs) when concerns or issues are vocalized to managers or HR (clear case of HR working for the company's bottom line rather than for the employee) - Nepotism in hiring processes and promotions
