Horrible - Anonymous employee Benchmark Education Employee Review

Pros

There are no benefits to working here, unless you are a glutton for punishment.

Cons

Constant screaming, complete dysfunction on every possible level. There is no order to things, and therefore everything gets stalled all the time. Somehow the product sells, and the owners have several homes, fancy clothes, and the rich and famous lifestyle to show for it. The worker bees reap no benefits. In fact, employees do themselves more harm than good by working at BEC; their salary is lower than average (and publishing pays low to start), plus they get no real world publishing experience since this "company" is a big joke.

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.
