      Out of touch with customer needs

      Pros

      My coworkers are great people who are always willing to help out with a project or problem. The compensation program has the potential to earn employees good money if they work hard. Relatively stable demand for the products we are selling.

      Cons

      I don't believe management intentionally misleads employees about their compensation but accounts are bought and sold sometimes resulting in major compensation issues. There is 100% pressure to make Ecolab the number one priority in life, even over family. The technology available to support field representatives is not up to modern levels.

      Overall good, but this is on a downward trend

      Street sales development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, it is fun, good friendships are built within the organization, micro-management is to a bare minimum. Fully expensed with company car, gas card and corporate card. Pension, but I don't think they offer that anymore. Big company so stability seems to be there and growing!

      Cons

      Compensation of the SSDM position sucks, growth opportunity for promotions gets pretty stagnant and when promotions are administered there is no real protocol to how those are given. Sometimes people are brought in for interviews and sometimes people are just "given" the promotion. The attitude is always, "what have you done for me today?" Constant realignments and changes to commission structures throughout the company that inevitably just limits your commission potential. Hate the way promotions and "raises" are given as they all are dependent on what you made the previous year; there should be some sort of floor salary for each promotion.
