Pros

None. Don't apply here.

Cons

Everyone is Micro-Managed. The MIcro-Management starts with the CEO and that culture is impressed on all managers at every division. Even Industry recruiters know that the CEO is the root cause of the company problems. That is why Benchmark has so many unfilled positions.

It's a job, worst company I've worked for

Pros

Friendly coworkers, good location, 401K plan

Cons

Little to no recognition. Very low or no raises even when performance reviews are very good and the company (especially the Minnesota division) is performing extremely well. Offices are extremely poor, old broken chairs, old equipment and software, ripped up carpet, loud, dirty, air handling system looks like they don't use filters, no empowerment given to lower and middle management or individual contributors. Average benefits. Starting salary o.k., but it will have to last you for years. Lost incentive after first two years to even try and overachieve. Lots of wasted skills and resources due to ineffective top down management.

Apathetic management, FAVORITISM, sexism, expect long hours 10+ with manadatory OT, low compensation, hostile work environment, and lack of recognition.
