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

Great benefits, generous Superannuation policy, company vehicle and fuel card, fantastic co-workers, that is, the ones that you can trust once you get past the climate of fear and suspicion

Cons

Corporate arrogance flowing down from those above you that think that they know best and what the hell would you know anyway. The management team have no idea how to really listen to their workers, have a sales focus that does not seem to understand the value of their staff and customers, this company is run by bean counters that have lost touch with the real world and what customer service is. The great benefits will not be there forever, if the management style does not change, they won't have any customers soon.

Pros

flexible hours and a great opportunity to move up. Benefits provided are above the avergae for the industry and make the lower salary tolerable

Cons

too much of a who knows who and the relationships b/t the seperate divisions make things a difficult. Maybe too large of a company because it is easy to go unoticed even when you are doing really well
