Pros

Company vehicle with fuel card Good 401k program with match company has a generally good reputation in the industry most of your coworkers are helpful and team players

Cons

biggest competitor will be other ecolab employees. Territory boundries are non-existant or not enforced. Current bonus structure is complicated and almost impossible to acheive. Income growth is slow or stagnant. Very cliquish. If your not one of the 'in' crowd, your not going anywhere. Current street level managers are generally incompitant compared to what they used to be. Most could care less about the people that work for them, only about themselves and getting ahead. There are two types of people that work for ecolab, those that can do nothing wrong (the 'in' crowd), and those that can do nothing right. If your working for them, and not promoted before your 35, get out. The only ones that are looked on favorably are white males, under 40 years old with a full head of hair.

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
