I am thinking about obtaining a degree from an online university and I am curious to see what corporate America thinks about online degrees.

We HR people are more concerned about the reputation of the particular school than whether it was delivered online or in the classroom.
Some schools have a reputation for graduating excellent students, others have a reputation for being "pay your fee, get a C" -- we generally prefer the former over the latter.
Online and DL delivery of college coursework is normal now. Almost every college in the country offers online coursework and some of the best offer whole degrees online.
If your degree is from a school that has a solid reputation and is regionally accredited then it will be well received. If it doesn't have a good reputation then it will be known for what it is.
Explore the really good schools like UMass, Boston, SUNY, U Fla, U Cal., and the like. The cool thing about online education is that you can get a degree from a really good school online.
