Pros

The financial rewards are there, but so are the risks. As with any sales organization, you are basically getting just a shell... a phone, a slow computer, and some pens (if you are nice). It's up to you and the people you know to get the most out of it. That said, you can do well there.

Cons

Longer hours, somewhat cutthroat. They penny pinch in every corner possible. It's a bit of a ponzi scheme, as i guess many of these places are, where the old guy takes the big cut while the younger guy (or girl) does the work. Tale as old as time.

Pros

The offices are located in a great location with access to public transit, which is highly convenient. Although sometimes that could be negative, if you like to drive your car to work. The ability to learn about commercial real estate is also a plus. Working with many different clients also gives you the ability to get experience you might not get at a smaller firm. Great place to work overall.

Cons

Sometimes there is not enough training in specific areas. Sometimes during heavy periods of work, tight deadlines can pop up unexpectedly. The computer systems are a bit old and antiquated.

Pros

Large range of services. Brand Recognition. Provides exposure to a number of different asset classes and markets. The sheer size of the company provides some opportunity for movement, but only if you are interested in brokerage. Overall, a decent place to work.

Cons

Little communication between different service lines. Brokers runs this place. Benefits are expensive to the employee. The 401k has a terrible match and limited choices. They do not pay for licenses that they require nor any other education. There are definitely a lot of inefficiencies with the way support staff are organized - a number of duplicate positions and wasted time and money.
