Great for people looking to learn and move up

Pros

Benchmark is a very transparent, open environment. It gives entry and mid-level people exposure to senior management and business decisions that you wouldn't get at the larger publishers. Those experiences have allowed me to learn a lot very quickly, which is really important to me. The owners seem truly committed to creating the best possible products for children, even if it hurts their bottom line at times. It's fun to be a part of a company with so much passion for their end users, and be a part of a creative product development process that isn't hindered by bureaucratic nonsense.

Cons

The pace is very fast- at times too fast. This is not a place for people who like to coast.

If You Can't Take the Heat...

Pros

Independently-owned with owners on premises daily, flexibility, independence if you find your niche and your voice. Steady workflow and trend-bucking growth.

Cons

You better know how to do your job without hand-holding. If you are too sensitive to other peole's anxiety it can be very stressful. Also unrealistic deadlines from upper management. In other words, it's a publishing job. If you don't find your niche, you may find yourself doing a job you have no interest in. As noted elsewhere the owner is volitile and has no filter, if you are offended or traumatized, maybe you should go find your dream job elsewhere.
