Vantaggi
Good pay, really nice and understanding management. A cubicle with a window view. I can't stress how much better that made my job. Everyone trusts eachother in my department, which is huge as well. I never felt like my opinion didn't matter or was flat out wrong. The training was also incredibly thorough and well done so that I learned my job well instead of quickly.
Svantaggi
Overstock.com is a glorified outlet store. As much as we try to push Worldstock, it is still hard for me to be passionate about working here. As a company we add nothing to the world at large. Sure overstock.com provides jobs in Salt Lake, and some revenue to the area, but besides that we aren't valuable contributers to society. On the one hand I like the idea of cutting out the middle man (the retail store seems like an antiquated concept), but on the other, we are actively engaged in the process of hurting local businesses. How do we reconcile this? I would bet that the vast majority consider their jobs at overstock just that, jobs, and nothing more. If there is a way to change this then that would be the only way to get people to truly believe in Overstock.com
