      Hostile Work Environment

      Pros

      Benefits are decent. Could be better, but at least we have them. When you know the right people, management is nice to you. They give you opportunities to grow. Getting time off approved is not a problem. For the most part, management is understanding of your life outside of work.

      Cons

      If you don't know the right people, or if you get on their bad side, work is horrible. Only one member of senior management is actually qualified for their position. None of the other members of management have ever had any actual training, let alone a degree. People with talent at Overstock are downtrodden because management fears they will be replaced by the more qualified individuals. New ideas are shot down, especially if the person is not well liked. Opportunities for growth are based upon personal preference rather than actual abilities. When given the opportunity for growth, no support is given or additional training for skills that would be useful. Good work is almost never recognized and mistakes are blown out of proportion. Communication from management is very poor. Promises are made but never kept. Bottom line, when you have to go into work and fear for your job everyday because of what you did or did not do, it makes for a hostile work environment.

      Best job I've ever had.

      Pros

      Going from working at Smith's food and drug to working at Overstock.com, I really must say Overstock is truly amazing! They provide you with all of the tools and resources you need to assist your customers, and allow you to do so. They are not limiting, and are sure to make it clear that your job is to advocate for the customer and make them happy. Making people happy is a job I like to do, and surely makes a job a lot easier.

      Cons

      Some of the days surely become repetitive. Things may get old, but there is enough room for opportunity that once things really begin to become too repetitive you can move up or move teams or do something different, its amazing. The only thing I can say I really am not super impressed by is the quality scoring system. Such a little thing can totally blow the whole score.

      Great company Gone horribly WRONG

      Pros

      Health benefits are OK It is a great place if you are a ski bum or if you like hiking the state of Utah, or simply because you have a higher reason not to leave the state of Utah. If you are good at selling ideas that sound good in meetings and love to have meetings from 8am to 6pm, this is the place for you. If you are crafty enough to arrange your work schedule around meetings, you can actually move from one meeting to another for a whole week, without actually performing any real job as long as you talk your way around the great projects or ideas that should be implemented and take down any new initiatives or real work done by others. Align yourself with the VP of Merch/marketing and you are done and don't ever go against any of the buyers.

      Cons

      Toxic work environment, you can actually spent days without talking to anyone. No vision of the future at the leadership level. Every day there is a Fire drill kind of environment, where the only thing you do is take out fires (problems) and being careful not to be blamed for the causes of the problem. Patrick Byrne made a great idea a reality, sadly most of his time, ideas and money are spent in fighting everybody else with lawsuits (wallstreet, hedge funds, gary weiss,banks etc) and talking about naked short selling, which is in fact a problem, but not the cause of Overstock's stock price decline. So the company is headless in terms of direction and lacks vision of the future. Retention rate of employees is very low, the average time a person stays at Overstock is close to 1 year. There is no open communication channel from lower to upper management levels, last initiative was to set up a web interface to allow employees to voice their ideas, but the qualification process of the ideas is in the hands of the same people that truncate the communication to the decision person (Patrick Byrne). Great place if you love to spend your time in Facebook and Youtube, just make sure you have one of those 3M screen protectors, so no one can see from the side what you are doing. No retention strategy for talented employees.
