Pros

It's better than no job at all.

Cons

Redundancies have led to a culture of fear. Over the past year, I have witnessed disrespectful remarks from leadership, and the organization’s tolerance of such behavior reflects a troubling lack of integrity. Too many leaders appear to prioritize personal interests over the well-being of the business and its employees, contributing to a toxic work environment. This is impacting client retention and new business opportunities. Investigations into ethical concerns involving senior leaders are often delayed, highlighting a clear double standard in how leadership and lower-level staff are held accountable.

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.
