Pros

There was always overtime to be worked, and more money to be made.

Cons

Overtime was never optional, and there was one stretch in particular where we worked 10-12 hour shifts for some 20 straight days.

We're truly grateful for your commitment to Benchmark over the past six-plus years and for sharing your perspectives as a Mechanical Engineer in our Rochester location. It's encouraging to hear that you appreciate the regularity of our compensation, the intellectual challenges, opportunities for skill development, community involvement, and the work-life balance we strive to maintain. Knowing that our employees feel a strong sense of identity and understand the world better through their work is deeply rewarding for us. Your candid feedback on the potential for work-related stress, lack of project selection, and the risk of boredom is equally important. We recognize that these are critical areas affecting employee satisfaction and engagement. Please rest assured that we are continuously working to provide our team with stimulating projects and minimize stress, including offering support and resources for stress management. The ability to choose projects can vary depending on several factors, including business needs and team dynamics. However, we value the importance of professional growth and job satisfaction and will take your feedback into account as we seek to improve our project allocation processes. As we move forward, we will look for more ways to keep our work engaging and to enhance our employees' ability to shape their career paths within the company.

We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy working with us as a Mechanical Engineer and that you've found satisfaction in your role at Benchmark. It's wonderful to learn that you appreciate the bustling work environment, supportive local management, our location, and the positive culture we have cultivated. Collaboration across state lines can indeed present unique challenges, and we acknowledge the difficulties that can sometimes arise from remote teamwork. We are continually seeking ways to improve our communication channels and project management systems to ensure that our teams can collaborate effectively, no matter where they are based. Your well-being and professional development remain priorities to us, and we encourage you to reach out to your manager or HR site contact if you need support in managing work-related stress or if you're looking for new challenges to ensure you remain engaged and not bored. Thank you for your commitment to Benchmark and for being a valued member of our team. Here's to more years of working together and achieving great things!
