Benchmark International

If you are doing sales rep, deal originator, etc its gonna be a great deal of calls being made. This is a lead generation position. That alone would make anyone avoid working there. But what I can say is that the company is very good at allowing self generation if you've proven that your method gets the job done. That can include outlets like Social media platforms, email marketing, you can even write a letter haha. If you can generate leads, they do not care how you do it. But everyone starts off smiling and dialing (just to get you comfortable with the pitch and talking on the phone). Also, management and culture are great! You will like them even if you don't like the work haha!

Benchmark has no training program and a lot of what I learned there was done on my own. Upper  management has their favorites and not being one of them can get you passed over for promotions

Thrown to the wolves…

Minimum training and time frame to adjust and acclimate to the culture and responsibilities of the role.  Call on business owners, and convince them to sell their business, by engaging with BM for a significant sum of money.  

Benchmark has a ton of talented, dedicated individuals. Unfortunately, executive team lacks in leadership. Days are filled with useless meetings, employees are encouraged to work late hours, yet get chastised for showing up 5 minutes late. 

Management should allow their employees to breath a little in order to boost morale in the office.

Fun group with some great people. Management lacks basic leadership principles, structure and overall grasp on what it is to lead a group of professionals. Managers are good people, but do not seem to have any real leadership experience. Their main feedback and motivation tool is passive aggressiveness.

Pros: PTO from day one, decent healthcare, nice coworkers.

Cons: No real mentors, so you have to teach yourself in order to move up. Very hard to get a raise or advance within the company if you aren’t willing to work more hours on your own time (be first in and last out and you might get noticed, but you have to be able to produce, too).

Great to build experience . There is a lot of micromanaging and expect you to do more that what you are supposed to do.  They want to have control over how much you can talk or not. Management doesn’t have leadership skills and they come off passive aggressive. 

The main thing that stands out as a negative is the double standard that seems to be a norm with the executive level leadership when it comes to attire and work hours.  

Also having to work every day in a business professional attire is a bit much.  

Solid company that is growing. More suitable for younger professionals in Finance looking to grow their resume. Company has lacking senior management that provides little in terms of expectations.

I have worked at many places over the years. Offices that were full of in-fighting, politics, where your progress was based as much on non-work items as performance. That isn't the case here.
