      Pros

      Vacation benefits were good. Starting out, you could accumulate 3 weeks and there were 11 paid holidays.

      Cons

      The work was utterly boring. I did property duplicate review for 8 hours a day, it was repetitive like you wouldn't believe and did not give me any technical skills. My performance was terrible, because self improvement at a job is nearly impossible when you are bored to the point of depression. I kept on trying to plan how I was going to progress in the company, but because this job did not teach me anything of value, I didn't see how I was ever going to get out. They told me that if I worked there I would be able to secure a better position at the company, but from what I could tell, everyone that spent a significant amount of time in this job ended up leaving the company. I tried to be friendly with my coworkers, but they had not interest in being friendly. After six months of working there, I knew very little about any of them. Between the boring nature of the job, the lack of workplace rapport, and the inability to see any kind of light at the end of the tunnel, it was a terrible place to work.

      Pros

      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

      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.
