Pros

Flexible hours, company vehicle. Ok, benefits.

Cons

I spent almost 16 years here so, it wasn’t all bad. Hard work but the rewards were ok. Then they started to change things around my 10th year. Less income for the field, and more for upper management. Then they took away the incentives that drove going the extra mile for the customer. I think when Doug Baker left, so did the soul of Ecolab. Most of the guys at the top didn’t come in at the bottom.

It's a boys club

Pros

Decent pay, no real tracking of time off but you can only take time off if someone is willing to cover your territory. Good technical and sales training.

Cons

Cannot take time off unless someone will cover your territory. Coworkers are not supportive if the sale does not benefit them. Boys club through and through.

Pros

Great connections with coworker who will leave too

Cons

Area manager cannot be trusted. They could care less about employees and turnover. Turnover rate is extremely high. The pay for what you do and deal with is a joke. They will find reasons to get rid of peoples so they can rehire for the same position but for less HOURLY PAY. The bonus inventive for sales is horrible and most of true goals for the year and impossible to reach
