Pros
Unmatched support from the corporate office Dedicated processing and underwriting - when a question comes up, it gets answered, fast! Loans are closed fast as a result as well. Freedom to operate - No micromanagement, able to get out and conduct business in the most efficient way possible! Fantastic company culture
Kontras
There are no cons that I can think of.

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