Pros

None. Don't apply here.

Cons

Everyone is Micro-Managed. The MIcro-Management starts with the CEO and that culture is impressed on all managers at every division. Even Industry recruiters know that the CEO is the root cause of the company problems. That is why Benchmark has so many unfilled positions.

Pros

Absolutely NOTHING!! They scammed me please read below! They falsely advertised their jobs and are highly unprofessional!!

Cons

I applied for the Office Clerk Internship and got the job. I arrived for my first day professionally, only to realize I was over dressed. They placed me in the warehouse. That included filling orders, climbing ladders, and standing for hours on end. This was NOT the administrative position that I was promised. They led me on and i also had enough proof to take legal action, but they fired me less than 12hrs later. Worst experience of my life.
