Good company to work at least at the local level.

Business Outlook

Pros

Global company with good presence and aggressively expanding in all aspects of commercial real estate from leasing, buying, selling and consulting. So if you want gain experience in any aspect of commercial real estate this the place.

Cons

Growing to big to fast and like in many large corporations the corporate office is out of tone with the field office. Completely revenue and commission driven. Hard to break in if your are in the brokerage division.

CBRE Staffing Department

Corporate recruiter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Somewhat flexibility and only those that are liked by management get promoted. The company itself is great and well-known in the industry. Two days work from home is nice.

Cons

Upper leadership is the biggest issue in the deparment and holds negative reviews by a majority of the recruiters currently in the department. There's very high turnover rate in Staffing department and company as a whole and that says it all. Almost all recruiters that started in the department 2 years ago have already left the company. Those left will most likely only go as far as Staffing managers if they are liked by current managers. Leadership solicits for advice but does nothing to address the situation. Things are very unorganized in the Staffing department and recruiters do a lot of administrative tasks. There is zero alignment between the Staffing department and the vision and mission of the company.
