Overstock.com ranked No. 1 for employee satisfaction

SALT LAKE CITY — Online retailer Overstock.com, Inc. Friday announced that it achieved a No. 1 ranking for employee satisfaction in a Glassdoor.com survey commissioned by Forbes magazine.

The company earned high marks for its fun, relaxed work culture with CEO and Chairman Patrick Byrne earning a 92 percent employee approval rating, the highest of any retailer on this list.
