Pros

The showroom featured beautiful carpets and rugs, There were some interesting events and parties throughout the year. The team made a lovely effort to celebrate birthdays which was nice.

Cons

While the showroom itself is beautifully designed, it’s very dark, with no natural light or windows in the offices or kitchen, which I found quite challenging. Over time, this lack of natural light had a noticeable impact on my mental wellbeing. The work environment felt quite cliquey at times — though this may have changed since my time there, it wasn’t something I personally enjoyed. The pay was average, and there was a tendency toward micromanagement. I was once reprimanded for having a small chip in my nail varnish, which gave the impression that the focus was sometimes placed on the wrong priorities.

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
