Pros

The benefits to working here are straight forward and quite simple. Easy highway access with plenty of local lunch time options easy to get to. Paid time off is generous with cash out option at the end of the year. While perhaps dependent upon position, the scheduling is good with a reasonable degree of flexibility in the interests of both employee and company. The locals work here, and the locals are wonderful people; easy to talk to and grow with. The company president and other executives are approachable human beings with empathy and they listen and take action. Working at this company, I never felt at work a single day despite how much work was sent my way.

Cons

Sometimes with companies of this size, and understandably to be fair, bureaucracy can start to solidify. Performance metrics can take backstage to savvy political players ability to refocus the conversation at the expense of those who are working quite hard. While a very positive place to work for, there could be a lot of gain in examining production metrics in certain positions. I do believe every company encounters this same issue; so don't be put off working here. Its a good place.

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
