Pros

Pay is decent and the benefits are pretty good.

Cons

I've worked here for over 5 years and at first I really loved my job and the company. I used to tell everyone what a great company overstock.com was to work for. I was told when I was hired that I would only be required to work weekends occasionally. And at first that was true. But after 5 years, I'm working solid weekends for months and I can't get a straight answer as to why and if/when that will change. We were also promised that there is always room for advancement, but unless you have a certain family status or know someone that can pull strings, good luck. Also, a few of us had ideas on how to make the company better. At first they seemed to listen and we even had lunch with upper management because our ideas were so good. But years later, the simple changes that we suggested are still unchanged, making customers frustrated and our jobs harder. But they don't answer the phones, so it makes sense that they don't care. Thinking that things would get better, I've stayed. But where they keep getting worse, I'm looking for a new job.

Pros

Great knowledgeable colleagues, Great opportunities, Great 401k match.

Cons

Management is reactive vs proactive, prone to implement new apps and direction without solid testing or stake holder buy-in. Management cannot be trusted and will flat out lie to you. Empty promises and carrot dangling when it comes to bonus time. Low pay compared to industry.

Pros

I really like working at Overstock, I've been with them for a while because I believe in the overall vision of the company. The people you work with are great, everyone listens to each other in my department, and we work together to accomplish goals. The company really cares about employee insight, and polls the employees when they are considering big changes. The polls they send take a collective vote of what employees would like an outcome of the change to be, especially when it comes to things that benefit or do not benefit the employees. It's really cool that they care..

Cons

If you aren't friends with someone in a different department, you might as well never consider moving around in the company (if say you want to move up). A lot of judgement is placed on a person if you ever make a mistake, big or small. In some areas this isn't the case, but it all depends on who your manager is, and what department you work in. They have weird titles for people in the company that usually don't fit industry standard, and pay isn't great. Essentially if you don't have a degree it's perceived that A. You can't move up in the company B. You can never make a substantial living to survive in Utah without roommate/spouse. Maybe that's the case with any company, but it does become rough when you train a new manager on how to do their job and you are their employee.
