Pros

I have incredible coworkers that I look forward to seeing everyday Casual, laid-back atmosphere Lots of contests, parties, raffles and more for employees Great benefits Flexible schedules Great location Senior management makes an effort to get to know everyone Most of the people in the company are very friendly

Cons

Management seems out of touch with employees Pay is significantly lower than what other companies offer for the same position Management has little to no knowledge about the jobs their employees do Communication from management to employees is nonexistent or ambiguous at best Questions and concerns addressed to management go unanswered Management often leaves employees feeling intimidated Management has encouraged employees not to report HR problems, saying it is in the employee's best interest, professionally, not to do so General feeling that my department is considered not important to the company, and that the employees therein are expendable Little to no acknowledgment for a job well done Receive more attention, praise, etc from management from other departments than from my own Ambiguous chain of command/ confusing heirarchy organization, including a constant shifting of managers and departments Employees are often shifted about to different desks/rooms, and in some cases are told it is to keep them from getting too comfortable Management undermining each other's directions, leaving employees confused More responsibility is often given without compensation Overtime expectations can become unreasonable during busy times of the year Management often makes changes to jobs, departments, etc, even when employees directly inform them that it will be detrimental to work and team morale, such as splitting up teams that work well together, simply to "get them out of their comfort zone" Upper management seems to jump from idea to idea with little follow through Employees are given no bigger discount than what is available to the general public

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.
