Pros

Used to be a good job

Cons

Inept management, took away all incentive to sell, everyone is quitting because of the awful one institution model, good ole boy club, expected to know how to maintain hundreds of different machines with minimal training, dumped off pool and laundry on TMs who weren’t trained, employees leaving in droves because they can find better paying jobs fairly easily now, AVP in my market hasn’t even visited one of the major casinos since he took over - no one knows what he does all day, they discriminate you if you hurt yourself and management looks for any reason to get rid of you, they don’t let you know you’re eligible for a pension buy out after 3 years if you’ve been terminated, HR is a revolving door here and no one knows what they’re doing, ceo walks out with 75 million and ecolab turns around cuts job and salaries of the workers who maintained their revenue during the pandemic, expected to illegally work weekend coverage for free every 6-8 weeks before one institutional, compensation is an insult and a joke and what is wrong with large corporations nowadays, chemicals are overpriced compared to competitors. If you recently left ecolab after three + years of service make sure you inquire about the pension buyout in which all employees are eligible for

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.
