Pros

Company vehicle with fuel card Good 401k program with match company has a generally good reputation in the industry most of your coworkers are helpful and team players

Cons

biggest competitor will be other ecolab employees. Territory boundries are non-existant or not enforced. Current bonus structure is complicated and almost impossible to acheive. Income growth is slow or stagnant. Very cliquish. If your not one of the 'in' crowd, your not going anywhere. Current street level managers are generally incompitant compared to what they used to be. Most could care less about the people that work for them, only about themselves and getting ahead. There are two types of people that work for ecolab, those that can do nothing wrong (the 'in' crowd), and those that can do nothing right. If your working for them, and not promoted before your 35, get out. The only ones that are looked on favorably are white males, under 40 years old with a full head of hair.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
