Pros

It can pay well, depends Good benefits Probably a good job at the warehouse or for customer service reps

Cons

Terrible management (some bright spots, but most leaders don't know anything about the departments they are trying to manage) Textbook bad business practices - reorganizations constantly. You might be in a different job in 6 months that you don't want. Always a new emphasis on what is "important" - every few months it changes They can't figure out how to make money. This is a problem eventually!! No communication from above, if you are a mind-reader that would help you. Promotions, lay offs, etc are all very political, not based on merit. Obsession with competing with Amazon instead of coming up with their own ideas and strategies. Some of the executives don't work nearly as hard as the people they manage, which is demoralizing. There is a lot of fear - nobody wants to make a decision.

Pros

Fast paced environment with LOTS of hands-on experience with many different tools. The people are the reason to stay, lots of smart and caring people, managers, and leaders towards the bottom of the food chain.

Cons

Upper Management has completely destroyed this company and gutted it. In my several years at the company, communication is as poor as it could be. Bonuses are promised and then not followed up on. RIFs happen far too frequently. It is abundantly clear that this company does NOT care about it's employees, and at the moment is almost seems like they are trying as hard as they can to get people to quit so they don't have to pay severances before acquiring more companies and moving headquarters to Texas. The culture in the days of Overstock was incredible, it made people excited about being able to work there. Now people are hanging on by threads, large teams are now carried on the backs of just 1-2 people without additional pay as we see co-workers get laid off left and right. It is not sustainable. Important things are being missed because there are not enough people to do the work, which will end up biting the company in the butt for compliance and finance reasons.
