Vantaggi

Amazing people to work with, for the most part. I met some of my best friends here. CEO does try to consider the best interests for his employees, even if it is misinterpreted. Decent benefits. Family mentality (in the beginning).

Svantaggi

Family mentality was lost somewhere down the line. Employees (especially CS) became just a number. From my perspective, there was a very poor work/life balance ratio. CS employees are expected to work mandatory OT at a moments notice, sometimes 10-15 hours per week. And good luck trying to even use your earned PTO. Perks/events that used to keep CS agent morale somewhat level slowly dwindled down. For a lot of people, it went from "I love my job" to "Eh. Its just another call center." Their "open door" policy to complaints is absolute BS. Yeah, you can voice a complaint, but don't expect anything to happen or change. At one point, I remember being told CS was warned to NOT voice any concerns- upper management was too busy to hear it. However, I did hear the person responsible for that "rule" was fired after I left, so it may be better. More cliquey than High School. If you didn't fit in with the right group, you were overlooked. Plain and simple. Pay wasn't that great or "competitive." I got an entry level CS job after I left making only 75 cents lower than my PROMOTED position at Overstock.

As I wrote above to another person in Customer Care: I apologize for what sounds like a slipshod experience. A new VP of Customer Care has been selected. If you have not heard yet, you will Monday. I think you are going to be quite happy with the choice. There will be nothing slipshod.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
