Pros

There is nothing good to say about the Nashua location

Cons

Worked there 10 years, employees are treated like cattle, like working for a cattle factory. No pay raises in years, always being watched, management prefers their employers to spy on others and report to supervisors. you are considered a number not a person.

Pros

- Lots of overtime, if you want it - Safe and clean work environment - Healthcare benefits are decent

Cons

- Employees are horribly compensated (most depend on the endless mandatory overtime to make a living). - Management is not interested in the real problems holding back the production process and regularly do nothing when an issue is brought to their attention. - Horrible disconnect between the development and manufacturing teams. - The integrated systems and network that Benchmark's processes depend on are broken and regularly go down. - Many people are held back from promotional opportunities as their current departments do not want to deal with replacing them.
