Pros

I learned how senior management should not act. After going through this terrible experience I made great relationships with those who went through it with me.

Cons

Many employees compare employment at Overstock to an abusive relationship: senior management promises that they will treat the employees better, but it never happens. In one year there was 80% turnover in my department (marketing). A friend of mine spent 80 hours working over Thanksgiving weekend because upper management decided to change strategies the day before. I did not receive a bonus or raise because one of the directors spread lies about me. In the 5 years I was there, I had eight different VP's - seven of them were fired when I quit. The eighth one was fired 6 months after I left. Another friend of mine found that items were going missing from photo and commercial shoots. He went to his boss, who started an investigation. When the branding manager found out, she had the VP put an end to the investigation, and tried to get my friend fired. I could go on with many more experiences similar to this that happened to a friend or I.

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.
