      Pros

      There’s always plenty of work to keep you busy.

      Cons

      I can only speak about their EFM business. Per my title, CBRE’s EFM businessis smoke and mirrors. Their salespeople promise completely unobtainable results to the client then throw it over the wall to let someone else drown. They don’t invest in the business or their employees. They talk about retaining talent but don’t offer tuition reimbursement. Raises are non-existent. The politics are a waste of time and resources. Work like balance is garbage. If you want to work your butt off for lower than average money and little to no appreciation then this place is for you. Otherwise there are better firms out 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.
