Pros

Good pay, really nice and understanding management. A cubicle with a window view. I can't stress how much better that made my job. Everyone trusts eachother in my department, which is huge as well. I never felt like my opinion didn't matter or was flat out wrong. The training was also incredibly thorough and well done so that I learned my job well instead of quickly.

Cons

Overstock.com is a glorified outlet store. As much as we try to push Worldstock, it is still hard for me to be passionate about working here. As a company we add nothing to the world at large. Sure overstock.com provides jobs in Salt Lake, and some revenue to the area, but besides that we aren't valuable contributers to society. On the one hand I like the idea of cutting out the middle man (the retail store seems like an antiquated concept), but on the other, we are actively engaged in the process of hurting local businesses. How do we reconcile this? I would bet that the vast majority consider their jobs at overstock just that, jobs, and nothing more. If there is a way to change this then that would be the only way to get people to truly believe in Overstock.com

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.
