Service Technician's Performance Expectation Dictated by Bean Counters

Pros

Great benefits (401k, medical/dental), company vehicle (for my job as a field service tech), autonomy, good pay.

Cons

I'm bias in that Ecolab had "acquired" our formerly successful service company (restaurant equipment repair). M-A-N-Y changes later and much business lost as a result. "Service" techs (the backbone of our business) forced to become "sales" techs - with management (ignorant of the trade) "brought" IN after prior managers (promoted from WITHIN) - got out. New management disparaged our purpose and value to the company - and even let go the ones who didn't meet their "proposed" (arbitrary) sales figures. After thirteen years there, I smartened up and got out myself.

Pros

Company vehicle. Decent pay. Great job if it was manageable...

Cons

LONG hours. Management is never satisfied. Always asking for more... Absolutely NO support from supervisors. 100's of customers make it impossible to do our job. Company acts like it's big on safety but expect employee's to drive 100's of miles and long hours exceeding 15 per day.

Pros

Ecolab offers a pretty good benefits package. Although upper management has been getting worse and worse, district managers remain good.

Cons

There is no work life balance. The company will hire outside applicants for management position before internal candidates.
