Pros

-Got a lot of experience quick in many different fields of sustainability. -Flexibility with hours and working remotely

Cons

-Not well staffed and management/client will expect that everything gets done regardless of how over worked/under staffed a program may be. -Outside hiring instead of promoting qualified staff- which leads to a high turn over rate. -Management takes advantage of staff (for example I was expected to spend 30+ hours of time training in the manager I directly report to, and manage my workload in addition to supporting the new manager with their workload) -Management enabled client in scope creep- saying that we should never say no to a client regardless the ask and the amount of time required. -Denied bonus despite not being able to provide reason/ or requirements to receive annual bonus.

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.
