Pros

The company's reputation as being the largest full-service real estate company in the world. Opportunities to meet some of the industry's brightest talents.

Cons

Salaries are frozen, management is archaic, sales professionals are unprofessional, management rarely supports staff when tension arises between sales professionals and their supporting staff, there is a lack of respect for support staff and there is an unspoken caste system within the company. CB Richard Ellis only cares about making record profits at the expense of its employees while the upper management receives bonuses even in this economy!

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.
