Pros

Good Benefits Package. Salary OK. You can make some good money if you work 26 hours a day.

Cons

Upper Management is out of touch with what is happening in the field. They only go by what is happening on paper and their computers. In the Field Training hardly exists when you get hired. Comissions have been reduced to a point where there is no drive to sell certain products. Work / Life Balance is almost impossible. Ecolab is very behind in equipment technology. Employees are not given the proper tools and equipment to work with in the Field. Too much Corporate Politics!! Everyone is afraid to voice their opinion in fear of being "Marked". Once you are marked in this company, you better start looking for a new job. You will have people in high places that will burn you in order to protect themselves and cover up their bad decisions or lack of participation on projects. Many managers need to be reviewed for their knowledge and performance. Not reviewed by their manager who is just as bad as the managers below them. They all coverup for each other by making the field people look like they did not do their jobs correctly. Ecolab Board of Directors really needs to take a look at some of the upper level management for what they ARE NOT.

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
