Pros

Nothing positive about the company or it's current CEO, Stewart Hunter

Cons

I am former employee at Benchmark Mortgage, I was there for 11 years and for the most part it was great company to work for. But it all changed when Stewart Hunter took over as the CEO in September 2024. One day you are consider "Family" (a benchmark motto) and the next day your are kicked out like 11 years meant nothing to them. Stewart is horrible leader who belittles everyone around him. I've witnessed him call employees "stupid" and "retards" during staff meetings. He's has poor leadership skills and I feel sorry for the current employee who have to put up with him. Everyone around him is afraid of him because he's emotional unstable and lashes out if the answer is not what he wants. So he's surrounds with "YES" people, including ALL of this Executive Team. He has created a toxic work environment. It's not worth applying for a job at Benchmark Mortgage. Also, the company is always being investigated by Federal and State Regulators.

Cons

time difference with corporate and UW would be the only con but it has minimal to no impact so far on day to day needs.

No place is perfect. Benchmark has growing pains but are working through them. While that's a good problem to have, it can cause some frustration.

Pros

The culture at Benchmark is exceptional. Leadership has created an environment where mortgage professionals throughout the country work together, share ideas and support the overall growth of the team. This is a company that recognizes its role in helping individuals, families, veterans, first responders and more realize the dream of home ownership and is grateful for the opportunity to serve. We say that Benchmark Never Quits and that's true. As an employee you will live and breath this mantra an apply it everyday.

Cons

I have no negatives to share about Benchmark.

Pros

Stable and Reliable company - 25 years strong Established Reputation Cultural Continuity - founded on core values Experienced Leadership Opportunities for Growth

Cons

Until recently, leadership seemed to be resistance to change, complacent and managed by bureaucracy. The company didn't get ahead of the technology curve or best practices. However, with change in senior leadership, this has quickly turned around and excited to be apart of the next 25 years!!
