Pros

The new building will be nice, but I'm not sure how long they think they can stay in business.

Cons

Crazy, unqualified people at every level. The board at any other publically traded company, seem to have some element of influence, however, at The Big O, they are truly a false diety in the boardroom of paegan symbols. They are as useless as nipples on a boar, they are a dog without teeth, they speak loudly but carry no stick. The board are all just a bunch of puppets, doing a little puppet dance every quarter, that the puppeteer makes them do. Other on-line companies are getting talent rich and actually understand that talent matters. Overstock's talent is bleeding like a sieve and Stormy and Patrick sit back and chuckle and laugh and giggle that those people don't matter anyways... I'm scared to death of what is transpiring here. It is unlike anyplace I've ever witnessed. Castles made of sand slips into the sea, Eventually.

Thanks for the comment. I would point out that Overstock has hired over 150 associates, not including Customer Care, in recent months with amazing qualifications from all over the world. The People Care team has been soliciting and examining feedback to continually evaluate benefit programs that fit the needs of the organization. The new building will be nice and will include an amenities building with a gym, clinic, and daycare options for associates. I'm sorry your evaluation differs, but Overstock.com is a progressive company where hard work, fairness, and reward are in its DNA. If you have ideas that you would like to share that would help improve your experience. Feel free to reach out to anyone in People Care. Brian

Pros

Coworkers are my main reason for coming back daily, I'd hate to let them down.

Cons

Toxic ceo is more focused on being confrontational than productive. The consensus in his town hall meetings is to 'keep your head down, avoid direct eye contact, do not ask questions'. He's focusing on building the upper management team while regular layoffs of people who actually do the heavy lifting is reducing our actual output.
