Pros

It is a job, it will get you money, but when I was working at this place, there were very little positive and the work environment was absolutely trash. If you need a job for a year or two until you find something you love, then consider this position. The people around me were very kind until upper management disrupted the whole work day. The 5 star reviews that are blanket statements are definitely from HR or upper management trying to make the place look better. If someone really enjoyed working here, they would give it 3/4 at most...

Cons

The list is too long, my experience there was awful and draining on my mental health. I loved the people I worked with, but the toxicity from the top resonated within the whole building. The [not-CEO, but the other person] is just awful, my first experience with this person on my first day of the job was very unprofessional. When I did the job interview next to the main office, all I heard of screaming. People have adapted to say that yelling and screaming is just 'passion', but it's not - it's flat out awful and embarrassing. When the children take over, that is when the company will truly flourish.

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.
