Review of Consulate General of Italy - N...

The cruelest, laziest, and most incompetent people...

The cruelest, laziest, and most incompetent people one could ever hope to meet. The few employees here who treat the public with respect and decency cannot make up for the appalling behavior of the rest of the staff. They are impossible to communicate with and almost everyone who works here treat the people who need to use their services as a nuisance. One wonders why these people ever opted to work in the USA in the first place, when they clearly have nothing but disdain for the people who live here.

Expect to be treated poorly, mocked, called stupid, and ignored. I have even seen one girl ridiculed by an employee in the visa office until she cried. Also expect your appointment time to be meaningless and to watch in frustration as the lazy employees carry on idle conversation with each other instead of doing their jobs. Quite a few staff members have very poor English, yet will not hesitate to call you stupid and insult you. If you have to deal with these embarrassing people, you have my condolences.
