According to employees of the companies surveyed, these are the top 10 worst CEOs (of CONSUMER companies) to work for.
Rank – Company – CEO – approval rating
10. US Postal Service – Jack Potter – 21%
9. Sun Microsystems – Jonathan I. Schwartz – 21%
8. eBay – John J. Donahoe – 20%
7. Convergys (a horrible call center company) – Dave Dougherty – 19%
6. Pfizer – Jeff Kindler – 19%
5. Sears Holdings – W. Bruce Johnson – 19%
4. RadioShack – Julian C. Day – 16%
3. Sports Authority – Doug Morton – 12%
2. United Airlines – Glenn F. Tilton 8%
1. Office Depot – Steve Odland – 7%
I haven’t had the displeasure of working for any of these companies, but I do come into contact with at least one of these on a daily basis it seems.
In the bigger chart (including companies that don’t come in contact with the consumer on day to day transactions) from Glassdoor, the absolute worst CEO to work for is Krishna Srinivasan, the CEO of Frost & Sullivan.
The best CEO to work for is Ken Powell at General Mills. Number 3 is Steve Jobs and number four is Eric Schmidt at Google.
