Pros

Employee perks: company car, company credit card, cell phone, laptop, good stock options, matching 401k. Easy brand to sell because everybody knows or heard of Ecolab.

Cons

Leadership micro-manages your every move, GPS on your car to let them know where you are and where you're going and how fast you're driving which you could lose your job over, people in power are cut-throat they will sell you out to get ahead, all good tenure people left because of the separation of sales/service (hourly/salary). Customers are getting over the whole Big Blue Ecolab is the best mantra, they're not getting their bang for their buck and Ecolab is losing customers. People don't work for this company for 20 years anymore, I would say the average tenure is around 3-4 years. The culture is extremely cut-throat!

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
