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

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.
