Pros

Overstock has a free Lagoon day for all employees and their families, which I thought was great, and they also host an annual concert for employees as well. The company is growing, and it was cool to be a part of the retail growth while I worked there.

Cons

Leaders are not approachable at all and not willing to listen to criticism or valid complaints. I frequently left work in tears because I was so unhappy, and I felt that no one cared about making the environment better. I also think they care much more about the bottom line than their employees -- and a lot of other people left the company around the same time I did for the same reasons.

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.
