CBRE

My typical day was to type corrections on Valuation reports, typing various kinds of correspondence relevant to the valuations, set up and maintain files for any new Valuation requested. Answering e-mail queries.  Accounts payable and receivable. Processing expenses incurred as part of the Valuation (eg search costs, accommodation, travel).  Arranging flights and accommodation for valuations in other parts of the country. 
The position was on a job-share basis with another lady with us both working 3 days a week each.  She was very helpful in teaching me all aspects of the position.  My co-workers were really helpful and friendly.
the hardest part of the job was probably remembering all of the processes, as I worked in a small office we didn't do everything all of the time.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the socialising with the other staff.

What is the best part of working at the company?
International Travel and the clients.  Learning and conference activities. The office was centrally located in the CBD and parking was part of the package.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The staff, the toxic environment and lack of support.  A very siloed structure and everyone out for themselves. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The physical office was good, the culture was appalling. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Development of sales strategies

Overall, CBRE as a whole has a good culture and encourage well-being. It depends on which account you are on.

Management doesn't like to internally promote staff that have been showing good work ethic, leadership and committment. They'll externally hire which is a disappointing and does not boost team morale.

Salary is questionable. There is no shortage of work, if anything we are overworked and should be rightly compensated as such.

I am enjoying this role immensely I have discovered so much about the tenant/ landlord relationship and the accounts associated with this role. Team members are always friendly and helpful and this makes the job a dream, I enjoy every aspect from working with clients, team members and customers its a wonderful atmosphere and I'm only seeking employment because its a 3 hr travel to my day and I've returned to study and finding I could use that 3 hours to studying.

Work in total autonomy
I learned how to write mails & various correspondances related to invoicing.
Co-workers sometimes very busy to explain deeply the different tasks -> frustrating.
The hardest was being sitted 8 hours a day in an environment without windows
Most enjoyable: organising my work for the day after so that I could know from day to day what I had to do + Doing various tasks or one long task for many hours :)

Not supported from senior management, no help, constant overloading internally. CBRE Procurement, finance, HSEQ are saving on people in these departments and you need to do all by your self instead. No one has time/desire to spend time explaining-they will train 90-130 people on Skype call and send you the link for self training....you

What is the best part of working at the company?
Company culture was great and good support made to feel like part of the Team. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with afterhours emergency's 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Was great at the time I worked there. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy organizing and on the move visiting Tenants and contractors.

CBRE is an International corporate with very positive reputation, in which you will be able to build up professional network with people in the industry and contractors. The company has operations in various location in major business districts. For me I have great support from my supervisors and line managers.

The company didn't give the good equipment to work with, an old laptop from a previous person. 

IT won't help or support MAC operators.  

Given the long task with an unreasonable deadline to test the ability to perform the skill, not the actual work to benefit the business. 

Constantly got threatened to be let go. 

The job was easy to facilitate, however it was hard working for two bosses with two different paths. The ability to be able to sell property did not match the market, needed to be able to negotiate to keeps things moving. Unfortunately the job description and opportunity was withheld due to confusion within departments.
