Micro Managed
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) – Charlotte, NC – February 15, 2019
Its a pretty cool place to work at but the manager is very unprofessional and micro manages everything you do. You have to ask to go to the bathroom. If you pick up your cell to even see what time it is, she'll almost scream at you to put your phone away. I hate working here only because of management.
Pros
Everyone works from home on weekends
Cons
Micro managed.
Overall a decent place to work
Lead Building Engineer (Former Employee) – Waltham, MA 02453 – February 14, 2019
Never know what a typical day consists of as there were so many things that could happen.
Based on what I learned while working there was how to deal with contractors, along with setting my presidence for the day. Management was pretty easy to deal with, and pretty much left me alone, as I knew my job well and how to deal with any ongoing issues.
The culture was a good one and I worked well with both tenants and management.
At times the hardest part of the job was dealing with tenants on how they would like things, but I was only the middle man and could only do so much, but I did enjoy the tenants and had a very good repore with them.

Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) – Greenville, TX – February 12, 2019
I have learned a lot working for CBRE, I was given the role of taking care of all Collocators, accessing all requests as they come in and making sure they all have what they need to gain entry into buildings across the US. I have learned to deal with people in a professional manner.
Pros
hours are great!
Cons
healthcare
Call center setting with open seating
Property Manager (Former Employee) – San Jose, CA – February 11, 2019
You go to get your laptop out of your locker and find an open workstation. There are enough tools and technology for you to learn. Management will favor their own people. CBRE will create a new title instead of promoting you. Cold and isolated work atmosphere. The sales agent are treated different than support staff. The hardest part of the job is getting bids as vendors knows you're required to get 3 bids so they do not respond to your request. The most enjoyable part of the job is vendor will entertain you to get new business.
Pros
corporate environment
Cons
8-5 schedule with no accommodation for work life balance
Team Environment as well as independent
Facilities Coordinator (Current Employee) – Deerfield, IL – February 7, 2019
A typical day at work was fast paced, reactive and challenging.
Building Maintenance and the importance of communication and unity amongst the team members to successfully complete the work order tasks of the day.
Management maintained an open door policy.
The workplace culture is built on the core of RISE values of Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence.
The hardest part of the the job is managing time wisely.
The most enjoyable part of the job is successfully completing tasks and moving on to the next.

Associate Real Estate Accountant (Former Employee) – Bloomington, MN – February 6, 2019
Cliquey and disorganized work environment.
Sounded good on paper and I looked forward to working for CBRE. However, this was not the case, and I quit after a few months.

Leasing Analyst (Former Employee) – Dearborn, MI – February 6, 2019
Contact with people globally for the various properties. Managing different type of properties (ie Auto dealerships). Involved with Six Sigma which was big at that time, as a method for problem solving in the most productive manner. Good place to work.
Pros
Same days off as employer per their union contract
Cons
No guarantee that contract would be extended
Terrible place to work
Senior Building Engineer (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – February 3, 2019
I have worked at 4 different accounts during 12 years with the company. The first 2 accounts were good but after Hurricane Ike, the company changed the insurance costs out of pocket to more than triple of what it had been and the benefits went down hill after that.
The last account was terrible, not enough tools, incorrect PPE for jobs (no half masks when using paint thinner, just dust mask), they didn't even supply pens to write with.
CBRE use to be a great company to work for, not any longer.
