Pros

The CEO (not the President) is very intelligent and credible. He isn't a "closed door" executive. I appreciate the effort that has been put in regarding our 401k. It is nice to know that he cares about our futures. There are nice perks. Discounted gym memberships, activities, EAP, Club O membership and various deals that are provided to us as co-op opportunities with local organizations. I like that we are socially responsible via Worldstock, Pet Adoptions, Clean Air and disaster relief efforts as needed. I am also looking forward to the new campus to be built in 2016. I'm impressed with our abilities to innovate; but there is too much red tape to get those ideas enacted (big ideas).

Cons

I have directly reported to the President and she is a nightmare. She manages by fear and the result is a lack of decision-making by her employees. People are afraid to act. The fear of inaction will eventually result in failure. She is uneducated, aggressive and immature. She is the virus at Overstock. However, she does great with company culture and has fun. She would be perfect as the CCO (Company Culture Officer); please just demote her already. Someday I plan to write a book: "How Leadership Viruses can Crumble Billions".

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.
