America’s most hated companies

Geico is not on the list, despite those wretched advertisements they force on us, but clothing retailer Forever 21 is, on account of their accused poor labour practices among other faults.

Hundreds of companies (publicly listed and otherwise) were scrutinized by the guys over at 247 Wallstreet to produce a list of the 15 most hated companies in America. The five criteria under consideration were: employee impressions, total return to shareholders, customer satisfaction, brand valuation changes and the views of taxpayers, Congress and the administration of the company where applicable.

Some of the names on the list will surprise you.
