Needs to re-evaluate and communicate better with their employees
Occupancy Planner (Former Employee), Holtsville, NY – August 23, 2012
As a company CBRE provides excellent employee packages and incentives. But management lacks the ability to communicate with the employees what is needed to conplete work assignements. Every project is a rush and you are pretty much on your own to solve issues. They are "Penny wise and pound foolish" when it comes to making decisions about selecting – more... their workforce and providing needed training. . – less

Lack of processes
Sr. Project Manager/Business Systems Analyst (Current Employee), Dallas, TX – July 30, 2012
The IT department is new so the company lacks any solid processes. Unfortunately they've hired non IT people to manage teams which does not work out because they lack the technical knowledge to build an IT foundation.

good if just starting out and need experience
Maintenance tech. (Current Employee), st. louis mo – July 25, 2012
Pros: there is a light at the end of the tunnel and i maybe getting out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: 50% match up to 3% of pay, upper management thinks they are better than you, management has no clue on how to manage maintenance, pay is well below averge, no continuing education
I do normally not do a review but this company miss represents is self so much. First of all it took me a month before the first member of management even introduced them self to me. You should feel lucky if you get paid on time and it is correct. They are more worried about trying to brain wash you into thinking that there company is so great that – more... they forget about taking care of the important thing like pay benefits and getting work done. If you ask a question about the job management's standard answer are just keep done what you been doing or that is a good question and then walk away.

I guess in short I would say that unless you are just starting out in the maintenance stay away from this company if you are looking for a job. The only reason I gave the one star is because I could not give them less – less

Unorganized and almost no communication
Maintenance Technician (Former Employee), Missouri – July 24, 2012
Pros: paid time off
Cons: pay, training, advancement
Make sure you negotiate your salary before you accept an offer. Do not expect a raise as they might promise.

The only thing I can not complain about was the amount of vacation time. I started off with 4 weeks of PTO my first year.

Be careful before accepting a job with CBRE.

#1 Real Estate Company in the US and the World

Pros: flexible/virtual offices on many of its accounts

Lots of the kind of work I enjoy
service engineer, same as previous job (Current Employee), office in Port Orchard – November 17, 2011
Pros: every one needs a job, i'm blessed not to be in an unemployment line!
Cons: 8hrs. work and driving, come home and often, do hours of internet work, afraid to ask for home work compensation.
good so far, this January will only be one year. since this company profits from my labor, they watch you like a hawk, sometimes as if you are an unconvicted criminal. People have taken advantage od the system, so they seem to treat you all like we are one of a kind.
