Terrible Place to Work - Anonymous employee Benchmark Education Employee Review

Pros

Colleagues, Opportunities to learn, the view from the office

Cons

The owners are downright classless, tasteless, crude and an embarrassment to not only the publishing world, but the world of business ownership. Overworking employees, cursing, racial epithets, negative gender and sexual orientation comments. Anyone working here that has witnessed any of this is as compliant and guilty as the owners. Referring to certain departments as "calculators". The abuse of family members in public is disgraceful. Human Resources shares confidential information including the owners business, the salaries of employees as well as their personal business, is not only unprofessional but illegal in most cases. The children who have been given overly-cushy positions only to throw their nasty attitudes and attempt to rule is pathetic. This place is certainly where many who don't fit in anywhere else come to work because their behavior wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else.

Pros

I became incensed when I came across the reviews on Glassdoor and wanted to contribute my own review. I suppose things have changed here at Benchmark because I have a completely different view of this organization. I work fully remote from home. The culture is collaborative. People are NICE and very professional!! The 401k benefits match at 25% of my contributions (not 3 or 4% like most companies) AND they have a profit sharing bonus. It's a very inclusive and diverse company. Thank you, Benchmark. I'm going to reach out to other employees and see if we can 'up' these numbers with positive reviews!

Cons

I wish I could visit the main headquarters and meet my peers in-person someday.

Pros

May be manageable if you are 100% remote.

Cons

If you have to be in the New Rochelle office, it is truly a strange place with bizarre, abusive management. The negative reviews are accurate. You will hear yelling, shouting, cursing, and insults thrown around casually. It’s usually directed at individuals. This comes from the very top CEO - the bad vibes trickle down through middle management and onto workers. Turnover is extremely high, lots of layoffs and outsourcing. Occasional free lunch doesn’t make up for the horrible culture. Systems are convoluted and there’s no real training process or HR, so a lot of times one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.
