Pros

Pay is slightly above average, and for the best 20% of people it is significantly more. They get shares and become owners. There is ample education, and ample opportunity to learn, and even those systems are definitely being work on, finally. Our ideas are sought and actually drive much of the company's direction.Weget to make many strategic decisions by democratic process.

Cons

Some departments get complacent, bureaucratic, better-than. When that happens, Patrick moves new management in, or recreates an alternative version of the department to be managed by someone new. Those who do not get what the program used to get cajoled and pleaded with to change. Now, they are sidelined, and as things get built around them, they get sore. Many leave, in time, and write, I believe, the nasty notes here.That is one of the worst parts of working here: learning about all the bitter ex`employees who cannot move on, and go to support groups.

Pros

We all go to work to earn a paycheck and that's definitely my number one pro for Overstock since the starting wage is more than the ending wage at my last job where I was in management and worked for four years . Most days, I can honestly say that I enjoy going to work and being in the frontline customer care team. I have options to actually help customers, at least the reasonable ones, and to "do the right thing". The company also has lots of fun things that help your attitude towards work. Examples: Lagoon Day, their OUniversity resources, polls to employees to give you the impression your opinion matters.

Cons

For me, the biggest con has been noticing that it's more of who you know than your actual abilities to be able to move around to other departments. It's caused me to wonder whether I want to actually work here long term. The company's requirements to "tier up" and gain additional tools to help your daily job are also a bit ridiculous. I was able to get to their tier 2 within a few months of being on the floor, which made me feel great about myself & work abilities. But since then I've been a few percentages off from their stat requirements to go to tier 3, making me feel "stuck" and not able to progress, despite trying my best to help customers and follow proper procedures. On top on this, the company's Internal Knowledge Base (IKB) is seriously outdated and could use a makeover - unlike other company websites that are rarely used that have undergone recent makeovers.
