Pros

As a new team member to Benchmark, my first 90 days has been a good experience. Smooth onboarding process with excellent work-life balance and fair compensation. I have great support from my Manager and plenty of training. It is nice to work with a knowledgeable team.

Cons

Benchmark has less company holidays than I've had from past employments. I feel the other benefits have outweighed this as there is still a decent amount of paid holidays.

Pros

Corporate office has a ton of resources and support for branches. The company as a whole is transparent and it truly feels as though everyone wants to do mortgages the honest way.

Cons

Benefits are not nearly where they should be. They are expensive with mediocre coverage. Everyone in corporate and at other branches has said if you can get benefits on a spouses insurance, to do that instead. There is no maternity or paternity leave, the option you are offered is FMLA leave for women which is only 60% pay and this is only available to people near corporate office or branches with 50+ employees. PTO hours are low, and no time is given for sick pay (you are meant to use PTO hours when you’re sick).

Thank you for your feedback on our benefits. We benchmark our benefit offerings each year to ensure they are competitive with similar sized companies in our industry. Our FMLA leave eligibility and coverage follows the federal law. In addition, our paid time off (PTO) plans are designed with a number of days to be able to cover both vacation and sick time off needs. We will continue to review benefits to ensure our employees have a well-rounded benefits program to meet their needs.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are thrilled that you were able to do an exceptional job! With regards to compensation, we review it on an annual basis to ensure we are competitive with the industry. We also benchmark our benefit offerings each year to ensure they are competitive with similar-sized companies in our industry. We are happy to say we brought our employees reductions in medical monthly premiums of 3-6% for 2025 when the average premium increase for most company medical benefits has gone up 7% from 2024 to 2025. This is part of a multi-year strategy to offer benefits that meet our employees' needs with reasonable premiums.

Great place to work

Pros

Great place to work, they allow you to do your job, If you are a take charge give me something to do and I will get it done person this is the place for you. There is no micro managing, they have a great class of responsible professional employees. Everyone pitches in to get done what needs to be done. I love working here and hope I never have to work anywhere else.

Cons

I really don't have any. The health insurance is a little higher then some companies but it is good insurance. I have had no issues with it. If you want STD you need to pay for it yourself. But the ease and enjoyment of working here far exceeds the little extra that you pay for benefits. I am very happy working for this company.
