      CB Richard Ellis - A Leader in Real Estate and A Leader In Employee Satisfaction

      Marketing assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people here are great! There are many perks included that I did not know about when I was hired. Everyone gets along great with each other. There are some of the brokers here who make an unbelievable amount of money, yet you wouldn't know it by their attitude. They are friendly with everyone. Everyone cares about each other and strive to treat everyone as equals, right down to the receptionist. Our office manager is wonderful to work for. She is generous towards all of the staff. There have been many times she has bought lunch for us "just because." We can go to her with any problem and she takes the time to listen and help solve it, without being "bossy."

      Cons

      Marketing assistants have brokers assigned to a specific specialty. There is retail, industrial, office, multi-family and investment. Marketing assistants receive a bonus based on the gross commission of the transaction for our specific brokers. Our bonus is 1.2% of the gross commission. When you look at the gross commission being paid, and the amount of work you might have done on a specific transaction, that 1.2% isn't a lot. It would be great if the bonus could be on a sliding scale - i.e.: If the gross commission was $1 - $15,000 bonus is 1.2%, $15,001 - $30,000 bonus is 1.6%, and so on.

      Growth for those who are patient...

      Pros

      CBRE is a growing company with many nationwide opportunities for growth. They are the largest real estate company in the world and if interested, will spend a significant amount of time in developing a potential leader. They have strong leadership throughout the country who are busy but very successful. If you are able to establish yourself then they will take the time to make things happen for you. They are all about building relationships with the client, so one must be patient for things to happen within their career as the client is the primary concern. I have had great managers and excellent reviews. Being a hard worker and wanting to change things for the better is a significant plus to the leaders within this organization when evaluating your performance.

      Cons

      The most irritating thing about CBRE is the political game. As with most big companies, there are several layers to go through to get something done. Unfortunately, the information that is provided on the company intranet is not helpful in getting people visability. You really have to search to find programs that are beneficial. However, if you ask any HR person they will say that the company has lots of opportunities. The other big downside is the possibilty of being pigeon-holed onto an account with limited interaction with the rest of the company. It can be hard to advance if you are dependent upon the client's corporation.
