Is this your company?

I don't recommend this company at all. - Senior Management Benchmark Education Employee Review

Pros

The company has a good product with a creative and inclusive community of workers who are far too talented to work there. I wish I could say a lot of good things about this company, but at this point, I cannot. The entire company is suffering from an overall lack of maturity and the culture is terrible. You are only as good as your last mistake, and that's the mostly positive thing I can say about the company.

Cons

Senior management acts as if they care, but that's all talk. The CEO is bi-polar and has no problem publicly humiliating you. You are only as good as your last mistake. The technology leaders are not as skilled as their team members, but micromanage every single detail as they try to steal your confidence. They talk process and controls while the company is grossly understaffed, so the team carries the burden of process without adequate support. There is an overall lack of integrity and character in every single C Level Executive, a lot of finger pointing and lack of accountability. I genuinely wanted to be happy there but it's far too dysfunctional for that. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone, not even as a starter role. And the pay is way under current market, plus you rarely, if ever, get a raise. No yearly increases. Even reviews are rare.

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.
