Pros

The Company is unique that the people at the bottom, mostly grunts, do all the work, and the management level takes the credit for it. Lead I, Lead II, Supervisors, and Managers abound within the Company, and all of them pat themselves on their backs for all the work accomplished. Upper Management prides itself on the old "telephone" game, where a communication from the very top of the Company is communicated down to the grunt level with just the same amount of "love" and "caring" of a wisdom tooth being pulled without any form of pain relief. Over the years, many of the Company "perks" have been thrown out, and even the last "perk" offered has been considered being removed. About the only "positive" thing in the Company is the quality, caring, and hard working "grunts" at the bottom level, who simply do their best work, in hopes for a pitiful spat of praise (which in almost all cases, never comes).

Cons

The Company "Culture" is unique, from the top level management thinking the only people doing any "real" work for the Company is the people in the Customer Service Department, all the way down to the Leads in the physical Warehouse, cracking the whips on the grunts to work harder, injure themselves more, and then complain when they do get injured. Growth is almost nonexistent within the structure. You can work years and get nowhere, and the only (overtly) praised words you get is from the (current) President, on how they rose within the ranks, many years ago, to become who they are now. Fat chance anyone else will ever see this same thing happen within the organization though. Many of the employees are young, and don't even consider the Company a "career". Some of the people who have at least five or more years invested in the company, don't have anything better. There exists two Worlds within the organization; Customer Service, and the Warehouse. Once in either of these Worlds, growth outside in the other, does not exist. Don't think by getting a "foot in the door" at the Warehouse level, will ever get you out of it (even if you have tons of experience in a "technical" field).

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.
