Pros
There are some very nice people at Overstock.com and a few who actually understand retail and have some experience outside of the company.
Cons
Patrick Byrne has insulated himself with a young, inexperienced senior leadership team that has no vision for the future. Decisions are all reactive instead of proactive and the company feels more like a vanity project for Patrick Byrne than a publicly traded company with responsibility to its shareholders. Most people with outside experience end up being unhappy because the company is so poorly managed. Ideas for improving systems, proccesses or structure are not welcome. If you want to keep you job just put your head down and do what you are told even if it is detremental to the business and creates no value for shareholders.
