Ecolab reviews

Perennially short-staffed and comically high expectations (mainly due to always being under-staffed) You will never have enough resources or training to do the job properly. Upper management knows this and continues to pile it on. Company's sole focus is creating shareholder wealth by constantly taking on new business no matter how ill prepared they are to handle additional business, and it will be at the expense of their employees' work/life balance. (which is why people move around within Ecolab quite a bit. Turn and burn mentality, but at least the opportunities to move up are always there due to this) Being completely remote, forget creating any sort of relationships with your co-workers. I met the others in my district twice in 2 years. The equipment you will be expected to manage can be burdensome if you live in an apartment or do not have exterior storage. Pay is subpar in major metropolitan areas and you will not receive a meaningful raise (hence the higher turnover). If you live in a more rural area with a low cost of living, this job could work for you for a longer period. (You'll start around $20 an hour while expected to be a food safety expert, while the non-expert part-timers at the locations you're visiting are probably making close to what you're making). Overall, I don't regret my time in this position as I learned quite a bit about the industry, but I would have to be pretty hard up to do it again.

Can be a stressful environment depending on team
