Pros
Fun coworkers. There are a lot of people working here that I will miss and many that I consider friends. Good benefits and matching 401k, this is the one thing they get right. Occasionally get to taste wine, monthly company lunches. They are willing to hire people with little experience. I used to think this because they were willing to try out new talent but I now realize this is because it allows them to pay their employees as little as possible. However, if you are looking a place to get some experience, good benefits, and to have no remorse leaving, then Benchmark might be a good option.
Cons
Not very well managed, poor leadership. The owner of the company lives in another state., the Vice President lives in another state, and the President averages a few half days per week. You are left with a very comfortable middle management team and a revolving door of low level employees. You will not make much money here. No one in sales makes commission. You will work hard to make very lofty goals. If you hit these goals you will be rewarded with cupcakes, wine that they were going to throw away, or at best a borderline insulting quarterly bonus. The general attitude seems to be that you are replaceable. I second another reviewers comment about the triumvirate. The catty, cliquey office culture, and the favoritism this breeds is detrimental to employees morale. Also, if you are a guy, don't bother applying to the sales or customer service teams. In my years of working at Benchmark there have been about 17 people that have gone through those 2 departments (each one being a team of about 3!). One of those was male.
