To identify Americas worst companies to work for, 24/7 Wall St. independently examined employee reviews on Glassdoor.com. To be considered, companies had to have a minimum of 300 reviews. Of the more than 500 companies with more than 300 reviews, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 11 publicly traded companies that received the worst scores -- 2.4 or lower.
Frontier, with more than 13,600 employees, got a rating of 2.3 based on 306 employee reviews. The CEO approval rating was 27 percent.
Frontier Communications has been downsizing its workforce in recent years --headcount dropped by roughly 1,000 between 2012 and 2013 -- the company considers its relationship with its employees to be good. Its employees may disagree, however.
"A number of reviewers seem to think Frontier Communications is no longer on the forefront of communications technology," Yahoo said. "One current employee explained, 'The reason you can't hire is that no one wants to work on a dinosaur.'"
Another reviewer was equally harsh about work conditions.
"High-stress and mentally exhausting," the reviewer wrote. "Expected to work 50- to 60-hour weeks."
