No pros to be found here.

Cons

High stress level. Untrustworthy management. 6 years without a cost of living raise. Calhoun really gets dumped on.

Thank you for leaving your comments. Sorry to hear that your time with us was so stressful, we never want that for any employee. That said the truth is we are in the customer service business and our Customers have come to expect and demand a customer experience that is exceptional and we deliver. It can be stressful at times but most of our employees actually find it very rewarding delivering exceptional customer service to such demanding clients. If your experiences with Management made you feel they were untrustworthy, that is unfortunate and again I am sorry for you. However we have made changes to the Management Team in Calhoun and I am sure that the new Team will not leave employees feeling that way. Your statement about COLA's is not correct. We actually issued cost of living increases for the past three years in a row. Additionally we've also had annual increases to salaries for the past two years (separate from COLA's) and we routinely issue individual pay increases throughout the year based on an individual's performance.

Pros

Stark has a good reputation within the industry, so most designers will engage... not incredibly hard to get appointments

Cons

The prospecting process is fundamentally broken. While there is a CRM in place, it’s rarely used properly. The showroom manager seldom updates account assignments, and account managers rarely log emails, calls, or meaningful activity. As a result, when someone uncovers an account that hasn’t been touched in years and successfully re-engages the client, another rep can easily claim they’ve been actively managing the relationship all along. The current system disproportionately benefits long-term employees while also reducing the need for management oversight and accountability leadership.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I appreciate your recognition of Stark’s reputation within the industry and the relationships our teams have built over the years. I also take your concerns regarding CRM usage, account ownership, and accountability seriously, as a transparent and consistent prospecting process is important to both fairness and client service. We recognize there are opportunities to improve how account activity is tracked and managed, and we are actively working to strengthen accountability and operational consistency across the organization. As an active employee, I’d also encourage you to continue sharing your perspective directly with myself, your manager or leadership team so we can better address these concerns constructively. Thank you again for your honest feedback and for being part of Stark. Best, Chad Stark CEO
