Top 10 Worst Companies In the U.S.
Morgan Stanley can be a bad place to work. Goldman is the only finance firm in the top 100 places to work. Here, hard work is not appreciated, and quality takes a backseat to speed. Good people should watch out for second-rate old-timers still walking around. The company is racist. Forward-thinkers may get buried.
Not to mention, they're even known for dangerous, armed fire marshals threatening managing directors and their employees because of where they're from. That's not very New York. Benefits exist if you can find HR. Really, if you go down and can find them.
There are many smart and high-caliber people around, but maybe they're going back to elitist hacking after the outsourcing recession where everyone was subpar.
Can't Facebook work better in the future? There are too many users chatting, which slows down my computer while I'm scrolling through comments and pictures.
Additionally, I don't want to befriend anyone creepy or any random acquaintances while on Facebook.
Facebook/Meta has no customer service, limited features, fake fact-checks, and removes and censors the most important posts and articles. It's part of the system.
They offer more truth than news stations or politicians, which isn't saying much.
Electronic Arts, Inc., also known as EA Games, is an American developer, marketer, publisher and distributor of video games headquartered in Redwood City, California. I once thought to myself, "A new Spore game would be cool," until I remembered EA. While I can't get behind sending death threats to developers, I wouldn't mind seeing the company crash and burn slowly and painfully.
If BF2 is successful as a pay-to-win game, gaming as we know it will perish. EA is not the only publisher or developer that likes money. If they can do it, Activision, Ubisoft, and the whole bunch will undoubtedly follow.
Electronic Arts and all companies affiliated with EA are, in many ways, the most greedy, sleazy, and profoundly unprofessional companies in the world. Their customer service could best be described as "What customer service?"
They are sustained only by the ignorance of consumers, whom EA beats into submission with their imprisoning Terms of Service.
T-Mobile is a telecommunications company that offers a wide range of services, including mobile phone plans, internet, and TV services. Originally based in Germany, T-Mobile has operations in various countries and focuses on providing innovative and customer-friendly products. The company aims to be... read more T-Mobile is the biggest rip-off scam in the cell phone industry. I fell for the oldest scam by T-Mobile ever. I was promised an honest phone trade. Instead, T-Mobile stole my AT&T cell phone, which I was also overcharged for by AT&T. The cell phone was only 3 days old when I mailed it to T-Mobile.
The cost of the cell phone from AT&T was an overpriced $1,200. The scam from T-Mobile is that if you switch plans to them, they take over the early termination fee and pay for the value of the phone being traded. In addition, they cover all mailing costs. It is now 2016. The trade was requested in March of 2015. T-Mobile has not kept their word.
That old saying, If it's too good to be true, don't fall for it, is accurate. There isn't an honest person or federal government agency protecting us taxpayers and seniors from crooks like these. It's almost been a year, and I am still being cheated by T-Mobile. I have no choice but to stick with them, as I need to stay in touch with my siblings at out-of-state universities.
I have purchased all T-Mobile plans and phones, for which I also pay. I worked all my life and paid taxes, and now, near the end of my life, I'm still being cheated. I write this so the public can see what's happening to elderly consumers. I'm sure many other consumers are being cheated as well, and I would like to hear from someone with enough courage to form a class action against these companies. I don't know how to form a class action suit yet, but I'm trying. Please help. Thank you.
Dish Network is an American direct-broadcast satellite service provider. The company provides satellite television, satellite Internet access, audio programming, and interactive television services to commercial and residential customers in the United States. I was told that to use their service at all, I had to commit to a 2-year contract, and they pull the money right out of my checking account every month. Two more months to go, and I will never be held prisoner by them again.
Nothing seems to work right. I'm having more problems with their service than I did when I had Time Warner.
They tried to cancel my favorite show, The Walking Dead, but that's never going to happen again.
Verizon Communications Inc., commonly known as Verizon, is an American multinational telecommunications conglomerate. Verizon could get you killed if they could. I called for help, asking for State Police Emergency, and they kept saying, "You have to be specific. Which one? There are so many." I said, "Any one, please give me one now! My children are in danger!"
Verizon Operator: "But I told you, you have to be specific. I can't just connect you to one." This went on for some time. I died. All true except for the last part. My children are gone. With luck and a good lawyer, so will Verizon - be gone.
My experience with Verizon from top to bottom has been horrible. We have been treated like they don't want or care about our business. Our community has been forced to migrate to Fios for voice and data, and it has been one problem after another with slow or no response.
I will give the cable company a shot.
Apple Inc. is an American multinational technology company that specializes in consumer electronics, software and online services headquartered in Cupertino, California, United States. Apple is the largest technology company by revenue (totaling US $365.8 billion in 2021) and as of May 2022, and, as... read more Apple! Why isn't Apple number one? I've never left the so-called "Genius Bar" feeling satisfied or even helped to any extent.
Every time a piece breaks on it, even when the screen broke in my pocket, I had to repair it myself because Apple wouldn't replace it for a reasonable price. Their employees are extremely rude and try to justify their unsatisfactory customer service with corporate jargon.
If Nokia and Microsoft are here, Apple should be number one. They charge so much for technologies that are almost three years behind the ones on the market.
Their app stores are a joke, and everything is overpriced there. The cost of replacement parts is eye-watering, and the system isn't even half as reliable as a Nokia. Try a Nokia out, I dare you!
Evil. Just evil. It's all about the money. They would rather kill to get money than have morality and make less money.
Pure, unadulterated evil. No regard for anything but profit.
They like to play God! Evil people!
Viacom is a global entertainment content company that specializes in television, film, and digital media. Founded in 1952, the company is headquartered in New York City and owns a variety of media networks including MTV, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central. Viacom also holds Paramount Pictures, a major... read more Viacom is probably one of the most greedy and awful companies on TV. They're responsible for MTV (gross), Nickelodeon (help me), and Comedy Central (I'm having a seizure). Viacom is an awful company that should go bankrupt, but how can they when you have these idiotic millennials binging on MTV, toddlers watching Nickelodeon (because they don't realize how awful it is), and people in general giving huge amounts of money to Comedy Central to keep producing this garbage?
Not to mention their absurd YouTube copyright strikes. What a greedy and disgusting company. Shame on you, Viacom. Shame on you.
Somebody needs to stop messing up the prices, or this mediocre company will go out of business forever.
JCPenney is boring.
The Newcomers
FedEx has a long history of trickle-firing good people to avoid having to report layoffs if done all at once. Is it legal?
Consultant contracts, held by people who do most of the work because FedEx can't do it themselves, are even easier to terminate, even when entire families relocate and spend years working there. Do you think multiple rounds of billion-dollar cuts have no long-term consequences? Only local government, desperate for any jobs, could believe that.
These cuts leave large, unsupported platforms that no one left in the company understands. Entire teams come and go, and new consultants or employees must ask users how the system works. Now FedEx is doing the same to drivers, giving their work to vendors instead of modernizing.
This is not a reflection of modernization or progress - it's incompetence. Never believe their spin and misdirection.
A bunch of bitter old people claiming to be our future selves who are upset we didn't make better financial decisions. Their commercials are so cringe, annoying, and overplayed.
Hey, Future Me, if you hate me, then I hate you right back for shoving this insufferable commercial down my throat.
American Airlines is a major U.S. airline headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. Founded in 1926, the airline serves an extensive network of domestic and international routes. American Airlines focuses on delivering reliable air travel services, including passenger flights, cargo transportation, and frequent... read more A horrible woman working as a counter representative was distracting another counter representative. This happened after he asked me to step up to the counter on Thanksgiving. She told me how rude it was to interrupt her conversation because they were talking at the time. She kept going on about how rude it was, and how I didn't understand that this was my first mistake.
Her attitude kept getting worse until I called for a manager and asked for a complaint form from all the other reps down the counter. What a bad airline to have people like that harassing and defaming good customers, even on holidays. I was very kind and patient, and I even paid for First Class only to be treated worse than I've ever been treated before.
The other rep tried to tell her to stop but couldn't until I called for a manager. I got out of there as soon as possible since I didn't have time to deal with it. I will never use American Airlines again unless it's a matter of life and death. What terrible management with no control over employees.
Google is an American multinational technology company specializing in Internet-related services and products. These include online advertising technologies, search, cloud computing, and software. Stupid company that makes products. People are so stupid to buy Android devices that will slow down and crash after a month.
Pixelbook: Terrible performance.
Google Pixel: Poor quality and value.
Pixel Tablet: Horrible cheap tablet that lags and crashes.
Google Assistant: Stupid, useless garbage. It steals your data.
They steal your info! They make cheap, horrible products!
The creators of the stupid Android operating system and the ruiners of YouTube since 2011. But seriously, as of 2014, you couldn't even reply on YouTube because of that Google+ integration.
Chick-fil-A is an American fast food restaurant chain headquartered in the city of College Park, Georgia, specializing in chicken sandwiches. Founded in May 1946, it operates more than 2,200 restaurants, primarily in the United States. The restaurant serves breakfast before transitioning to its lunch... read more
Terrible service, monopoly pricing. Comcast charges for things, and then you can't get a refund to your account.
Customer service is subcontracted out to other countries, and they tell you that your account has been credited when it hasn't been. Comcast is minting money because they are a monopoly.
I am constantly dealing with internet issues. The WiFi doesn't reach across the whole house. It's frustrating when I try to use the internet with my tablet, and I can't connect to the WiFi.
Worst company ever. You sit on hold for over an hour most times. Hardly ever get an English-speaking person you can understand. Too much money for the product received.
Save yourself a lot of grief and stay away from ADP. Their customer service is horrible, and former customers recommend going local, where there are dedicated live people to talk to.
ADP offers the worst benefits and treats their own employees so poorly that they hate working there and take it out on anyone associated with the company. Why would anyone want them to manage their human resources? Stay away! The managers are on manipulative power trips, the company is cheap, they don't care about employees, and they're unfair. They never give any recognition and have really hurt a lot of people.
Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, that develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics and personal computers and services. Microsoft ruined Windows. It seems they don't care about the Windows users and only focus on the Xbox users.
They're wasting their own money on video game companies instead of spending more on new Windows 10 features.
Greedy, disrespectful, thieving scumbags who may resort to stealing your money if you don't cancel your Xbox 360 membership before being banned.
They literally ruin everything they touch and clearly don't give a damn about their customers.
Cisco sold surveillance equipment to China to support tyranny and human rights violations. If you express support for human rights to Cisco employees, they may go after you viciously. This happened especially after the U.S. federal government shut down those sales and amid the human rights lawsuits now against Cisco. They are a major corporate human rights violator.
Cisco sells and installs corporate phones, networking, and video surveillance equipment in the U.S. It's not surprising that they were caught selling to a totalitarian regime, violating rights, yet they continue to operate in this country.
They treat people like dirt, throw them away like trash, and then follow them to their next job to cover their malevolence. Starwood was bought because it was so bad that no decent employees could stay, regardless of pay. All the good people were thrown out, replaced by some of the most undesirable workers from countries like Korea, China, and Austria. They imported labor from India using massive, illegal L1-B visas to replace and disparage American workers.
Starwood was eventually bought by Marriott, but how do you get rid of the remaining bad employees? Only a few good ones remained here and there. Years of painful mismanagement drove Starwood and its workforce into the ground, making it ripe for a bargain-basement, non-hostile takeover once a desperate buyer was found. The last-second, sneak hostile takeover attempt by China's elite was thwarted by the U.S. federal government, but it still cost Marriott $2 billion. At least the most senior bad executives were finally ousted after years of suffering. The revolving door of C-level staff was constant, except for the CFO and the Austrian CEO, who descended into their IT project named Valhalla - a reference to Wagner and Hitler - built by the very people they fired so they could claim credit for themselves.
So much corruption and fraud, and they pay billions to get out of it. Check Wikipedia for all the improprieties. Although headquartered in the Netherlands, their New Jersey KPMG Montvale office is known for threatening architects who uncover criminal insecurities in computer systems, covering up the wrongdoings of various subsidiaries. There's no control or standardization across the company.
Every location is different and more corrupt than the last! Software consulting was sold off and then withered and died. Apparently, the same would happen to any other part of this gigantic collective hive.
This and McDonald's need to be tied for 1st place. Walmart is notorious for horrible accounts of labor abuse, child labor in China, and destroying local shops in every town in the U.S.
McDonald's is responsible for making the people of America obese, using horrible ingredients, and shipping processed chicken meat to China to be processed even further.
It seems that when people from other countries, including Canada, think of a typical American day, they imagine eating at McDonald's and shopping at Walmart. Well, at least that's my opinion. It seems like no one else cares.
Nokia Corporation (natively Nokia Oyj, referred to as Nokia; stylized as NOKIA) is a Finnish multinational telecommunications, information technology, and consumer electronics corporation, established in 1865. Nokia's main headquarters are in Espoo, Finland, in the greater Helsinki metropolitan area,... read more
Bad hamburgers make my entire family feel nauseous after eating. There are no more healthy salads, and not even grilled chicken sandwiches are available.
It's a bad influence on kids due to the poor-quality fast food.
I'm not loving McDonald's as much as you people do. It has to be the worst fast-food company in America. One of my brothers got sick from salmonella after eating a rubbery Chicken McSandwich.
Thanks for creating this list, yo!
Advertising to children. Annoying slogan. Not at all vegetarian-friendly. Fries and hash browns there have chicken in them. What the hell?
They force a Cisco monopoly on U.S. and U.K. companies and the rest of the world. They make companies buy overpriced, second-rate networking and telecom equipment with third-rate software, making them dependent on overtrained technicians who couldn't get a job elsewhere. Companies are left with no choice and no way out.
Even worse to employees. Managers abuse, harass, and bully - avoid this company at all costs. The new owner, SYNNEX, needs to create a safe workplace and ensure their products are safe, while protecting people from abusive vendors like Cisco.
AT&T is an American telecommunications company that provides a broad array of services including mobile telephony, broadband, and television services. Founded in 1885, AT&T has grown to be one of the largest telecommunications companies in the world. The company focuses on delivering reliable, high-quality... read more AT&T provides the worst service I have ever experienced, and I have dealt with many companies over the years. They will say anything to get your business, but when they fail to deliver, you have no option but to vent to an underpaid call center worker overseas. There's a new joke: there's a checkpoint at heaven's gates where if you were an AT&T employee, you can't go in.
You can't even get support from AT&T on weekends. It's sad for me to admit, as my grandfather retired from the company, but AT&T is without a doubt the worst company on the planet.
CA Technologies sells expensive, subpar products largely acquired through hostile takeovers. They operate on outdated platforms, employ underqualified staff, and have had criminal executives, including a CEO who spent a decade in prison for financial crimes like fraud and extortion. Their customer support is poor, especially when trying to reach someone online. CA's strategy often involves locking customers into multi-year contracts that are prohibitively expensive to break. The company is sinking with the decline of mainframes, which ironically attracts more customers to CA Technologies.
