Pros

great at hiring entry level positions and getting people the experience they need very flexible schedule, at least for salaried employees solid pay good benefits decent culture

Cons

HR's cult-like mentality about the CEO Former president acted like she was still in high school. Obvious, in-your-face nepotism Only focused on blockchain. They continuously lie or at the very least stretch the truth to the rest of the company (i.e. only a few layoffs turns into hundreds in several rounds after they swear "this is the last one"). There needs to be more transparency because no one can be effective if they are constantly stressed about whether the company or their position will survive until next week. Never had a clear direction of what we were doing, but from the top down, it was basically just "wing it, guys. you're smart enough to make this happen". then get mad at specific teams when things dont go as expected they lay off hundreds of people, yet give thousands in bonuses to a few specific ones. alcohol. i'm not talking "beer on your lunch break" drinks. I mean, any holiday was an excuse to drink company-provided hard liquor. many people got pretty drunk often. dont get me wrong, it was fun, but id rather have a bonus instead of a crazy high liquor budget.

Pros

A lot of great coworkers, excellent benefits. Good pay.

Cons

Many positions are specific to Overstock. No one has any idea what is going on. A baindaid is put on issues without actually solving the core of the problem. Processes change way too often. Direct management became very micromanaging. After one round of over 100 lay offs, they tell those of us who were still there we are safe. A few weeks later, another 100+ get let go. I don't think Overstock is going to be around much longer.

Pros

You will learn some useful people skills.

Cons

Those literal games they make you play in group interviews and training are just the beginning. Political games, favoritism and complete lack of compassion or respect for anyone not in the pack. If you voice concerns over job security due to the sheer number of people vanishing daily, you will be lied to and assured there was a reason and you are fine. Until you aren't fine and there is not a reason in your spotless file. Elma facility hasn't had any upward movement in almost a year. Not a problem in itself but there has been a disturbing amount of demotions, terminations and people fleeing the company. Of the 13+ vacated leadership positions in customer care alone that could have been filled as existing positions, none were. They either demotion someone to them or dissolved completely and staff redistributed to overload those remaining. No promotions, no growth, only frightening shrinkage with those left living in daily fear of being next. They are told to smile and promote the falsehoods because those that were let go, did not. Despite assurances this facility is safe from closure, the track record above does not reflect that. The CEO's recent announcement of no bonuses or raises due to restructuring hits hard for a location that has seen nothing but people escorted out. 2 large waves of terminations in 2019 meant there was an opportunity to dispose of those that did not allow themselves to naturally attrition out with attendance problems or legitimate issues on file. Another disturbing note is that this facility is not handicap friendly. There is 1 single access button that does not function properly and is currently located on the mens restroom downstairs. Not on an entrance or exit, not even one for each gender, just the mens room. The only reason this was finally installed after more than a year was an employee in a wheelchair was trapped in the restroom for an extended period of time. This plays into the lack of compassion or respect for employees as people. Zero integrity.
