Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm sorry to hear that you had a negative experience working at STARK, and that you felt there were no positives to your time there. It's concerning to hear that you found the office to be the most unprofessional you have ever worked in, and that management was clueless and unprofessional. Additionally, a toxic work environment is never acceptable and can have a significant impact on employee morale and productivity. Your advice to management to "clean house and start over" is a strong statement, but it's important to provide constructive feedback to help the company improve. If you haven't already, I would encourage you to provide more specific feedback to management regarding your experiences and any suggestions you have for improvement. This may help them to identify specific areas where they can make changes to create a more positive work environment. If you would like to discuss the specific issues you experienced in greater detail, please reach out to me directly at cstark@starkcarpet.com to continue the conversation. Thank you again for sharing your feedback, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Best, Chad Stark CEO

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
