Pros

Coworkers are for the most part friendly and work hard. The people in the analytic portion of the company are very intelligent and are constantly coming up with unique ways of improving the business. The corporate culture is one of smart, casual people that work hard. It is a great company to work for that is on the cutting edge of online retail.

Cons

The pay is just okay. I know of many people that are using Overstock as a springboard to gain experience in a tough economy and then planning on moving on to better opportunities as they come available. This is really too bad because it is sad to loose intelligent people and be forced to then have to try to replace them. If Overstock was willing to pay 10-20% more they would hold on to some of these good people and cut down on the replacement costs of having to train someone new. Also, starting with two weeks of PTO (that includes both optional days off and sick days) for your first year is challenging. That increases to three weeks your second year, but most companies start with a minimum of 3 weeks.

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.
