Pros

CBRE Asset Services Accounting, for me, was the absolute BEST place to gain experiece for Accountants who aren't afraid of hard work, strict deadlines, diverse portfolios, and conforming to the highest ethical standards in the industry.

Cons

The company began centralizing the Accounting offices in 1999. This moved the Property Accountant away from the Real Estate Management teams that we worked so closely with. There was a higher sense of responsibility and cohesivness when the REM and the Accountant were in close proximity or even the same office.

Pros

Honestly? Not much. The vision insurance was decent, I guess. Truthfully though, there wasn't much.

Cons

Management's refusal to allow employees freedom. I routinely got praise from the client and hit the maximum score on my goals. If things weren't done "by the book", they were wrong. The health insurance was awful. Going to self-employment, one of the things that you hear is that you're going to pay a lot for health insurance. However, I'm actually paying LESS than when I worked for CBRE. When you work for CBRE, don't consider job security something that you're going to have. I saw two employees with 15+ years for the company get laid off, with zero severance and no option to transfer elsewhere, unless they wanted to uproot their families and move states for more work and a pay cut. This is the worst company that I've ever had the displeasure to work for. If you have literally any other option of employment, please consider doing that.
