Pros

Leadership was pleasant and easy to work with.

Cons

I can only speak from my experience on the marketing team but this was hands down the worst job I've ever had. I knew I made the wrong decision to join during my first few days in the office. No one could answer any of the simple questions I had about how our printers worked or where anything was stored. I was completely fooled during the interview process. The leaders of the marketing team promised multiple things that never came to fruition during the interview. The team structure was completely unorganized, the process of the workflow was repetitive/unnecessary, and worst of all my manager had no experience in the specialty she was managing. 10/10 would NOT recommend working here if you have any real interest in furthering your career in marketing.

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.
