Pros

Decent benefits package, especially in comparison to startups or smaller companies.

Cons

The company has drastically changed for the worse since Marcus Lemonis took over. It began with questionable strategic decisions involving Overstock and the Bed Bath & Beyond brand. What followed were multiple rounds of layoffs, including during the holidays, which devastated morale and left critical gaps in operations. Instead of supporting the remaining workforce, leadership removed essential tools, paused raises, and replaced them with a bonus structure tied to company profitability—something that’s clearly not materializing if you've been following NYSE: BYON. It's hard to be “profitable” when you're under-resourced and overburdened. Career advancement has become nearly impossible. With so many departments eliminated, there’s little room to grow. And even when opportunities do open up, promotions often go to friends of leadership rather than those who’ve earned it—cronyism is alive and well. What was once a collaborative, thriving workplace has been reduced to a disjointed, unstable shell of its former self. Sadly, unless there’s a drastic course correction, this company appears headed toward a bankruptcy collapse.

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.
