Pros
Company takes their roll in the death care industry very serious. They are about doing things right and taking care of clients. The company teaches their employees to think. A cemetery or funeral professional will learn more at NorthStar than any other funeral company. If you are loyal and work hard you will be well compensated and have opportunities to grow.
Cons
The company hires and retains people who work hard. There is very little "Fat" meaning sometimes staffing can be very lean. Employees are compensated well, but sometimes the company is frugal when it comes to buildings and car updates.
Advice to Management
You have the best people working for you, spend more dollars to make your buildings the best in the area.

Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NorthStar Memorial Group (Oakland, CA) in February 2016.
Interview
I was interviewed by the Sales Manager, introduced to the Facility Manager. Sophomoric interview, easy to ace. Sales Manager proceeded to take three weeks on bring me on board after notifying me I had the job. NOTE: I chose $24K as a number for salary because the form required a number but pay was a draw against commission; there was no salary.
Interview Questions
- The Sales Manager focused on the objective of generating sales for a product (burial spaces) that had dwindling sales in certain demographics, and the importance of using one’s social groups to generate sales, e.g., church, your own ethnic group connections. 1 Answer
