Pros

Ecolab can be very innovative. You have the ability to take ownership of your work and make informed decisions as long as you have the research to support it.

Cons

Although Ecolab has blossomed into a very successful company, many of it's processes are extremely manual. This causes unnecessary inefficiencies and extra work on already limited resources. Many people aren't able to do their best work regardless of their high level of talent because of this.

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.
