Ecolab reviews

being an almost- monopoly, Ecolab hasn't adapted or changed its ways of working in decades. it very much felt like an (white) old-men's club.

You are always on-call, and in Vegas, that is 24/7, as many properties do not close. You are expected to crawl around in disgusting kitchens, wearing slacks and a button up (with a TIE), installing dishmachines and equipment. They don't provide nearly enough safety equipment. They don't care about actually saving customers money, in fact, if you do that (by lowering chemical dilution rates), they will get on you because you are bringing in less revenue. They have very unethical practices, and favor those with seniority, regardless of how terrible of employees they are. They lack leadership, they promote based off of your sales and how much you drink the Kool-Aid, and not based on actual leadership ability. They claim you have a flexible schedule, but you really don't. Pay is abysmal, and in order to make decent money, you would need to work 14 hours a day... unless you are handed a pristine territory that is worth a few million dollars (not going to happen). Promotions have no rhyme or reason, they just promote people based off their good ol boy system.... Usually a Territory Manager moving to District Manager someday, or a Street Sales Rep... but some people in the good ol boy system will skip 2 or 3 levels and end up in a much more lucrative position without "putting in the work"... making it yet again, inconsistent. Antiquated technology for prospecting, and refuse to listen to better ideas.
