Overstock.com Reviews

Pros

if you get your a employee great but if you a customer expect to get ripped off lots are look at their facebook page complaints go on-for days

Cons

they are a con so many unhappy customer

Pros

Lots of talented individuals from many backgrounds who work together. A great culture of trust and allowing individuals to try new things. Currently WFH. 401k Match. Good enough medical. Competitive salary. Bonus plan. Exec team focused on growth.

Cons

Opportunity to move up in the company does not always have a clear path. Even with specific dept's having a framework for advancing, it still feels like it comes down to whether or not managers will go to bat for you. No clear direction for the future, it's always just 6 months ahead and shifts far too often. As of now, no plans to offer remote positions full-time, despite the company having their best performing/productive years while under WFH guidelines.

Pros

Leadership changes continue to be a great positive impact on the company. Transparency and trust continue to build. No rush to get back to the office, leadership is taking their time and responding appropriately.

Cons

Pay continues to be lower than the market in a lot of areas - progress has been made over the years, but still not where it needs to be.

Pros

I love the people I work with. All my teams and managers have been wonderful. Top management has seen a net improvement over the past year, and I trust them to be transparent in most things, and honest. I love the benefits, especially the 401(k) plan. I've always felt valued as a person and an employee.

Cons

A big pet peeve I share with many colleagues about Overstock is the distance of the parking garage from the office (1/4 mile). They ostensibly built it that far away to get employees to walk more (let us be adults and make our own healthy choices). But a suspected true reason was to create a physical barrier (distance) to keep employees on the campus so we'll be more productive. That said, Overstock is not in the practice of over-working its employees. The other main issue is the bonus structure (or usual lack thereof). There has never been consistency or transparency in bonuses. There's no way to make everyone happy with a bonus structure, but Overstock's handling of bonuses has, more often than not, left most people unsatisfied or questioning. In my several years with the company, company-wide bonuses have been paid out only once or twice, and they have been modest. The current bonus structure looks more promising, but we are in the first year of it and there is still a lack of transparency in details, despite executives touting that it is super transparent.

Pros

They care about the success of the company and are transparent to their employees about progress

Cons

Many employees would love to stay working from home after the pandemic, but it seems some of the older executives don’t like the idea as much. We will see the outcome though when we do “return to the office”

Pros

Some great people but sadly they're overpowered by bureaucratic bigoted leadership that points blame at others

Cons

Product org is failing, we can't hire colleagues and senior managers here are all talk. They produce nothing then blame others, they don't trust us to manage product our way I feel. They can't see that their old processes are killing the company, they're too busy talking in every meeting pushing their own methodologies and agenda Tech org is not a lot better, however I did witness positive changes here. I feel senior leadership is not bought into what they are preaching. Their actions don't match their words
