Pros

Good working environment with nice colleagues. Good salary (conform local market).

Cons

As a typical EMS, Benchmark scales down on personnel when order intake diminishes. This can cause knowledge drain and layoffs.

Pros

Good benefits, pays decent but could be better, cheap when it comes to raises

Cons

honestly surprised the company is still in business with the way it's run, they rarely hire people full-time and lately do layoffs once a year leaving the company with too few of employees. All they care about is the bottom line and that they make money. We often run out of parts and then have to work overtime to get the product out, but the person that allowed us to run out of parts doesn't get reprimanded.
