They may not have great reputation among their employees, but these CEOs cannot be called as unsuccessful. Many of them have delivered good performance in their career.

Based on the employees’ review on Glassdoor, the news website 24/7 Wall St. rated CEOs and came up with a list of nine that got the least positive endorsements.

The website also looked in factors that can hurt a CEO’s reputation; and some of those include ‘propensity for humiliating the company in public, poor stewardship of the company and a compensation package that employees perceive to be excessive’.

Let’s take a look at the CEOs that have the worst reputation.
