Pros

Some good people work there.

Cons

This company is incredibly mismanaged! They are very lucky they are in a business that is getting more popular otherwise this company would have been run into the ground long ago. The wife of the CEO screams and curses at employees all day long. It is right out of a TV show. The CFO is stuck being treated horribly and just smiles as he is screamed at. Do yourself a favor and pass on this job. No COVID plan and desks are on top of each other. 200+ employees in office all in a wide open area. Scary!!!

Pros

I currently work in Benchmark Education's technology group. Overall, my experience has been great and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the company. The company has continually grown year after year, regularly providing new learning opportunities for its employees. The company has done extremely well positioning itself for the emphasis on digital, and is positioned well for future success. The CTO in particular is a very talented, hard working leader and clearly has a vision for the company. The leadership team is strong and despite the pains that come with a growing business, manage, inspire, and take care of the employees well. They open up opportunities for employees to grow into and promote a family-oriented culture.

Cons

There are definitely intense times but it's really no different from any other company and this comes with the territory of a fast-paced, high growth company.
