I discovered this site while trying to find information a small company that I own a few shares in.

Teacross is a user-generated informational site that allows registered users to:

• Rate your current or former employer (or look at how employees rate it)
• Rate your customer or vendor experience (or look at how others rate it)
• File a complaint – this is especially cool because if more that 50 people attest to the problem, it is forwarded to the company.

CAVEAT:  Since it is a brand new site, there is not a lot of data in it yet so…..

I RECOMMEND:  Join and rate:

• Your experiences as an employee
• Your experience as a customer or vendor
• File a customer complaint

Right now it is peppered mostly with information on large companies. It seems that any company listed on the stock exchanges has been automatically added in a skeletal format but there is nothing to stop you from adding an unlisted company of any size.

How does this fit in with my sustainable/socially responsible theme? A little bit of a stretch, but in trying to be a socially responsible investor I try to find sources that are not self-serving to the company (press releases by companies themselves seem to take up about 50% of search results). How well employees and customers are treated are hallmarks of a socially-responsible companies and this site will, hopefully, provide me some relatively unbiased views & data.
