Rewarding experience working with some of the best people, providing essential services as a contract manufacturer for very impressive list of customers.

After years of success under another name, the purchase by Benchmark was the final bit of good news before the decision to close the plant and break apart some successful business relationships.

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of the employees are great and truly work hard.

Cons

Management is terrible: No accountability, no teamwork, manage for the day without regard for the future. Also, this company will pay you LESS than almost any company in or out of their industry, consistently.
