Poor Leadership, Good Perks

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

The team I work with directly (coworkers) are great people. We keep each other going everyday. If it weren't for my team, I would stop coming into work.

Cons

Working at Overstock.com is a thankless job beyond words. The executive management team lives to inflict fear in the hearts of their employees. This corporation is understaffed and underpaid across the board. Proper training resources are not available and the direction of the company changes with the wind. I've never worked for a company who starts so many projects only to pause or throw out the project entirely a week or two later once the ball is already in motion. This philosophy is a gross waste of time and resources. Many employees will never be acknowledged for the countless hours, blood, sweat, and tears they put in. As people continue to jump ship, Overstock is not hiring enough people to replace them so the work loads just grow and grow for the existing employees who are not compensated for the extra work. Further more, the more projects they dump on unqualified people the less efficient it makes the teams as a whole. There are employees here who have brilliant ideas which would help improve various business strategies but they aren't important enough to be heard. In many cases, people are so terrified about losing their job that they stifle the ones who seek change because they have found that complacency is the only way to save your job at Overstock. NEPOTISM IS A VIRUS HERE. Unless you know someone, sleep with someone, or are the son/daughter of someone at the executive level at Overstock you will never be treated with respect. The company president and her Storm Troopers will walk all over you and treat you as if you are sub-human. If at all costs, avoid working for this company.

Pros

Learn new technologies, some good team members

Cons

On call all the time day or night. No personal time sometimes. Low pay for the amount of work involved.
