Toxic Culture - Anonymous employee Benchmark Electronics Employee Review

Pros

Pay is decent for a job you don't interview for, and asks very little of you intellectually and physically

Cons

Toxic inter-departmental culture, lots of on-the-job racism, animosity toward new employees is incredibly blatant and makes what should be an easy and relatively mindless job excruciating to walk into every day. Most days, I encountered 4-6 hours of downtime out of an 8 hour day except at the end of the month when they'd ask you to stay as late as 5-7 hours past your regular end-of-day. Symptomatic of poor management. They have also been losing some of their important contracts. Future does not look bright here.

Pros

Floor production staff is awesome; office staff not so much. Average blah company.

Cons

Managers are poorly trained. Cheap salaries. Very poor work culture- ignores holidays, employee picnic/ get-togethers. Burdensome non-value work.

Pros

Met some good people while there that are still friends.

Cons

Extremely difficult to suggest changes and being taken seriously. Benchmark is stuck on its hiring process. Where a piece of paper is worth more than experience.
