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.

Pros

Coworkers are my main reason for coming back daily, I'd hate to let them down.

Cons

Toxic ceo is more focused on being confrontational than productive. The consensus in his town hall meetings is to 'keep your head down, avoid direct eye contact, do not ask questions'. He's focusing on building the upper management team while regular layoffs of people who actually do the heavy lifting is reducing our actual output.
