Every job is different, and everyone within those jobs are different, so I can't speak for your company itself. What I can speak for is myself as a stutter. Without diving to deep into it, I've been in the military, correctional officer, supervisor at a casino, and actually just landed my 'career' job after an interview a few weeks ago. Talking was / is a part of the job, whether it was soldiers, inmates, guest, or other team members. Your stutter isn't going to hold you back, I can almost guarantee you that much. Just keep your head up, and have a good attitude (or fake it till you make it) and you'll do fine. Most people will get uncomfortable at first around those who stutter. Especially if they don't know beforehand. It's normal. If you're having a one on one chat with a client for example, it's best to tell them upfront. It relieves a lot of tension, from both sides! Edit\* ALSO! Forgot one weird confidence thing I sometimes do. Before you have an important interview / meeting, take a deep breath, and tell yourself "I'm the baddest mother\*\*\*\*\*\* in here." Tend to help.
