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.
