Pros

you will be very hands on as long as you are not doing somethign that the owners would prefer to put their own hands on and in that case you will learn that they are not very good to delegating authority, they want to be the authority on things because they don't trust people to make decisions (and you should develop the ability to read their minds)

Cons

one of the principles yells a lot and uses foul language (four letter words to say the least) and berates people and says things that she thinks are jokes but are in fact just plain racism and sexism and homophobia. she deals in stereotype and doesn't see people as individuals. she is a bully because she is insecure. i wonder if this goes on because it is owned privately, i know it would not float in a corporation where there are standards for behavior. i know bosses yell etc everywhere but this is extreme. people leave sometimes after a few days

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.
