- With any small margin organization, the focus is being fiscally frugal and being lean; this can impact "cost centers" that need resources to drive modern processes, leading those teams to "make due"

Thanks for sharing your positive experience working at Benchmark. It's great to hear your feedback about the opportunities to make a difference within our company, and that the leadership team values both the company and its employees. We believe it's important to listen to the feedback we receive in our annual engagement survey and take action to improve year-over-year.
It's also fantastic to hear that your colleagues are dedicated to making a positive impact in the workplace and on the environment. Thanks for your comments around the senior leadership team’s approachability and actively working to make a difference, especially in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Regarding your comment on the company's focus on fiscal frugality, we understand that this can sometimes lead to constraints for certain teams. However, our door is always open if you don’t feel you have the resources you need to succeed in your role.
We appreciate you taking them time to share your thoughts and experiences on Glassdoor.
Floor production staff is awesome; office staff not so much.
Average blah company.
Cons
Managers are poorly trained.
Cheap salaries.
Very poor work culture- ignores holidays, employee picnic/ get-togethers.
Burdensome non-value work.

Thank you for your candid feedback and for the many years you spent with Benchmark. We’re glad to hear your positive comments about the production floor teams, and we also hear your concerns around management effectiveness, compensation, culture, and engagement. These are areas we continue to actively evaluate, including how we develop leaders and foster a more supportive workplace. While every site and experience can differ, feedback like yours is important as we look for meaningful ways to improve.
Met some good people while there that are still friends.
Cons
Extremely difficult to suggest changes and being taken seriously. Benchmark is stuck on its hiring process. Where a piece of paper is worth more than experience.
