Pros
Good employee benefits including domestic partnership coverage and tuition assistance reimbursement, socially responsible initiatives, excellent Halloween parties, lovely building location and setting.
Cons
I've worked at Overstock for 5+ years. For me, it's been an OK gig because I laid low and I didn't have a family to support, BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT AS A PLACE OF SERIOUS EMPLOYMENT. It's shady and unpredictable. In theory, the company should be great. They have really good benefits for associates, they make a lot of socially conscience and environment friendly decisions, and they work hard to attract really solid talent (which they usually get). But their business practices ruin all of the good things they have going for them. The company is unorganized, initiatives and company-wide goals change on a whim, and recent upper management appointments seem to be made based more on friendships and "other" types of relationships, rather than actual business qualifications. If you're just in for money and you're OK possibly losing your job at the drop of hat, you'll be fine. If you're looking for meaningful work with real opportunities to advance your career, keeping looking.
