VP of Accounting/Controller - VP Controller Benchmark Mortgage Employee Review

I've had the privilege of working at Benchmark Mortgage for more than ten years, and I can confidently say it's one of the best companies I've ever been a part of. As we wrap up celebrating our 25th anniversary, it's clear that the company's incredible foundation has been the key to its success. Benchmark Mortgage is more than just a workplace; it truly is a family. The entire company is dedicated to fostering a positive and supportive environment where employees can thrive. People rave about the company culture and the strong relationships among colleagues. The positive attitude and collaborative spirit make it a joy to come to work each day. I'm proud to be a part of a company that has stood the test of time and continues to thrive. If you're looking for a rewarding career in the mortgage industry, I highly recommend Benchmark Mortgage.

While we face challenges like any other business, Benchmark's resilience and the dedication of its employees have allowed us to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger. The shared mission to be the best in the industry drives us to strive for best-in-class excellence in everything we do.

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

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.
