Pros

Benchmark is not the same as other growing companies. It works a little differently. The owners lead it in a similar way to the small family business they started. People come and go, with success and growth, the feeling remains the same. You are part of projects that needs you or that you can add new ideas. They all make sure you stay involved. Anyone with skill can be sure that they will be used.

Cons

The owners are very hands on and some do not like. That means they want us to come back without everyone getting vaccinated. I agree not everyone should be forced, but they should work from home. There might be a couple who will but I don’t want to risk our families and I think most others will not return until then. . Its possible that office visits could be part of our virtual work but not the other way around.

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.
