Pros

management in the winona site does not care about well being of employees and have coaches that train newer employees belittle and demean you

Cons

will work you to death in overtime if qualified for an engineering role but you are in production they will not move you up so growth is not an option here.

Pros

Floor production staff is awesome; office staff not so much. Average blah company.

Cons

Managers are poorly trained. Cheap salaries. Very poor work culture- ignores holidays, employee picnic/ get-togethers. Burdensome non-value work.

Pros

Met some good people while there that are still friends.

Cons

Extremely difficult to suggest changes and being taken seriously. Benchmark is stuck on its hiring process. Where a piece of paper is worth more than experience.
