Pros

Job Flexibility Large Platform Many Services for Customers Plenty of Copy Paper

Cons

Oppressive work environment that motivates with fear-At least in Florida. Way too many reports and unnecessary paper work. Commission splits are slowly changing and management says its "to pay for all the new training." Dude-That is BS. Pay for the training out of all the money we make you. Besides-that was a year ago and I haven't seen one bit of training except for more pointless meetings that waste our time. The benefits are garbage. We get an email every week which is just the company trying to cover their tails in the event of a law suit, yet they try to make it like it is for our own good. Every year we are on the list of "Best places to work." That just proves that designation is meaningless and whoever puts that out should stop immediately. Management touts that they support brokers, which is just not true. They nickle and time the heck out of us. Which makes us not be able to support our customers. We are forced to say all these things that we are going to do for our clients (which costs money) and then we do not do them. Sadly CBRE is the Steak and Ale story all over again. They say its about our customers and people, but its not. Its about earnings and paying management bonuses. They say one thing and do the opposite. Brokers that do not need CBRE are leaving for a better culture. In 10 years CBRE will be comprised of employees that cannot get a job anywhere else.

Pros

You can make money if you don't question for improvement, just go to work do something and get your paycheck. No scope unless you can do some 'favors' to your manager. Safe place to work if you don't care to grow.

Cons

Lot of self focused managers in Infrastructure worth nothing when they go out. All they do is make money and do a shitty job. If you don't know how to 'favor' your manager but want a career growth stay away from this company. The worst part is you will see a lot of lip service, nothing in reality

Pros

The resources and training within thecompany are good. Benefits are slightly above average. Quality of personnel high.

Cons

Politics abounds and the brokers are treated too well while the ones that get things done aren't acknowledged for their support.
