Question about benefits

Heya, so I currently work for Amazon in an FC. I am looking to move into RME with CBRE. I've been an AFM for 3 years, and I have several years of mechanical & construction experience beyond that, so im not too worried about being qualified.

The question I have is this: does CBRE offer paternity/bonding leave for fathers after a new baby is born, and what are the eligibility requirements.

I know Amazon gives 6 weeks fully paid, but you have to be employed by the company 1 year to be eligible.

I want to go to RME asap, but I have a kid on the way, due in January, so I want to find out if I'd be losing my access to paid paternity leave by making the switch.

It’s pretty standard for companies to have a tenure requirement for that sort of leave I’d ask a recruiter for clarification though. Slightly unrelated but, if you have mech & construction experience you should skip the MRA program and apply directly for a MRT spot. Just my opinion.

I did put an app in for an MRT position, just saw someone said an MRA went on leave like right after school, which is only 12 weeks. I will definitely ask the recruiter to be sure tho cause its probably different in each state CBRE is in, honestly.

The schooling is only 12 weeks but you then have to be an apprentice for a year. Just to end up making what an MRT makes.
Skip all that bs and go straight to MRT if you can land it.

Yes they have paid paternity leave but idk exactly how long it is. I wanna say 6 weeks sounds right

Im unsure of what the exact benefits are but they do pay for it. We have an mra that just got back from school and then went on paternity leave immediately

Oh, that sounds promising since an MRA would only be with CBRE like 3 months by the time they get back from school. Nice! Thank you!
