Pros

Great team ethic and immediate line manager is a respected, professional and likeable guy. If you work hard you can get the rewards you deserve. You need to do what needs to be done when it needs doing and often means going the extra mile.

Cons

Immediate line manager easily overidden by his director with no regard for team moral or work ethics. Bit of a boys club with a strong drinking culture and depends on who your mates are as to how far you will get. Not always clear with the finances that you are responsible for which sometimes differ from your own P&L.

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.
