Pros

You'll get to see the new "Peace Coliseum", if you make it that long. CEO is quite a laugh, as well as the President. "Stand-up's" there are literally like watching a stand up comedy act (not that good though). Free coffee, where you can choose espresso, latte, regular, or even hot chocolate! Santa comes around once a year for the kids to see. A decent chance of meeting some cool people there, but management is....(see cons below)

Cons

Marketing: This is a retail company, and when marketing offers 10-20% off coupons every day ON TOP of already low prices (still can't beat Amazon 98% of the time though)...well, you "make" less money as a whole, and that leads to layoffs and budget cuts. Budgets: HUGE problems here. Certain departments have gone YEARS without getting vital equipment and staff. When things blow up, putting them back together again can be very difficult and lead to more stress, more work for those already in place. Management/Leadership: 1. President: Why she is where she is, I have no idea, she must have something on the CEO. Watch your back here. 2. SVP's: Some are trying their best to get more for those under them, but dealing with above...not getting much if anything. 3. VP/Director: Next level is where you go from bad to worse in most cases, and I'm talking about the corporate part of the company here, CS really has it good I'd say. VP's and Director's have a tough time managing all of what they're given. 4. Managers/Leads: For the most part good to great! These are the people that hold the team together and keep team morale up. There are a few though that just can't get along, you try to clean up what was a huge mess, and they come down on you thinking you're trying to "steal my thunder" or some crap. Word of advice, if you want to help the team by making it better, go to the person above them and talk about it first. And again, fix your budgeting Overstock, it's killing the company and all of its employees.

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.
