Pros

Benefits, Team Outings, Remote Program, Corporate Discounts makes this company attractive to work for.

Cons

People that deserve promotions are overlooked often. Office politics are at a ridiculous high here. If you have a differing opinion about process improvements than your manager, then you could be put on their hit list for the duration of your employment. Turnovers are very high at CBRE. The company is always changing their structure, and when it does change, it means that either some people will be laid off, or more people will be hired. The interns are not treated like they matter. When we have team outings, the interns are required to stay in the office and work. The Directors and Controllers there are not advocates for the employee's well being. They value the managers far more than the employees. If an employee has a complaint about the manager, they will simply sweep it under the rug because you don't matter. Also, they pay is minimal and it is like pulling teeth to get promoted if you are not the manager's pet. And when you do get a promotion, the responsibilities are the same, but you have tons more work to do. It is as if you have more than 24 hours in your day. The company perks are more than a lot of other companies, but I still suggest that you proceed with caution when working here.

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
