Pros

Company fun days are great and a nice way of giving back to their employees.

Cons

Overstock has a tendency to take action without thinking or investigating things thoroughly. They are lacking Vision, Strategic Planning, Integrity and Focus. 1) Inconsistent behavior of upper management, lack of a good moral foundation. 2) Promoting the most ineffective managers with no "Leadership Qualities". (Sometimes the most talented person can make for one of the most "ineffective" managers.) 3) Abruptly letting long term employees go with no rhyme or reason 4) Pretends to "care" and expresses how you should share but you dare even when it's in the best interest for the Company. 5) Lack of appreciation in the workplace, most do not appreciate your work. 6) Little compensation is given to Customer Service employees

Pros

Fast paced environment with LOTS of hands-on experience with many different tools. The people are the reason to stay, lots of smart and caring people, managers, and leaders towards the bottom of the food chain.

Cons

Upper Management has completely destroyed this company and gutted it. In my several years at the company, communication is as poor as it could be. Bonuses are promised and then not followed up on. RIFs happen far too frequently. It is abundantly clear that this company does NOT care about it's employees, and at the moment is almost seems like they are trying as hard as they can to get people to quit so they don't have to pay severances before acquiring more companies and moving headquarters to Texas. The culture in the days of Overstock was incredible, it made people excited about being able to work there. Now people are hanging on by threads, large teams are now carried on the backs of just 1-2 people without additional pay as we see co-workers get laid off left and right. It is not sustainable. Important things are being missed because there are not enough people to do the work, which will end up biting the company in the butt for compliance and finance reasons.
