Pros

I worked at Benchmark Education for over three years and I truly enjoyed my time at the company. I was able to tailor my position to my interests and get involved in all departments. I felt that my work was valued and I was truly making an impact within the company. The office community is lively and diverse, and Benchmark provides plenty of opportunities to get to know co-workers. There are monthly birthday celebrations, a Benchmark soccer league, and an annual Benchmark art expo and holiday party. The collaborative environment within each department and between different departments allows for the best possible products and quick problem solving. Overall, I had a positive experience at the Benchmark Education and learned a lot about the educational publishing industry.

Cons

Benchmark Education has almost doubled in size in a very short amount of time and there are some visible growing pains, but everyone is invested in working together to revise and improve official processes.
