Default Citibank Makes the Top 10 List

Citibank ranks fifth on the latest list of the worst companies to work for:

Citigroup sacked CEO Vikram Pandit late last year, after he had
shepherded the bank through the financial crisis and then fired
thousands of workers as well. That, on its own, would be enough to
destroy employee morale, but the bloodletting was not over. Pandit’s
successor, Michael Corbat, said he would fire 11,000 more. The bank’s
board may have been frustrated with the pace of cost reductions under
Pandit, but that was not the only issue that the board apparently
believed had hurt long-term shareholder value. Pandit’s mishandling of
the sale of its Smith Barney unit caused Citi to write down $2.9
billion, and the action triggered a cut in its credit ratings by
Moody’s. Such actions did not endear Citi to investors. The recovery of
Citi’s shares since the global financial meltdown has been far worse
than its major competitors. Citi’s relationship with its customers has
also been awful. It took a place on the MSN Hall of Shame of the 10
worst companies in America based on customer service. Its ACSI ratings,
already low, further plunged in 2012. According to Interbrand, Citi’s
brand value dipped 12% last year, and is now only two-thirds that of
rival J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM).
