Pros
Decent health care plan but for the size of the company it could be better.
Cons
Training is an absolute joke!! Your title is a "Route Sales Manager" but you are actually a full time service tech expected to sell. The pay vs the hours you put in may get you to minimum wage. No work life balance. Your phone is always on and your constantly getting calls. My 1st weekend on call was the same month I came out of training.I worked 40 hours from Friday morning through Sunday night non stop. The training in St. Paul is 85% sales and 15% service. When you complete training you will be tossed into a territory and expected to fix everything with no issues. You will perform many installs and some are overnight. You will crawl around on filthy kitchen floors and some are cockroach infested. I leave all my work clothing and shoes outside my house in a bin and wash them at the launder mat just in case i may have roach eggs or some chemicals that could easily be brought into my home . If your sick or need to take a vacation, think again. It is impossible to get any time off unless you can get people to cover for you. Even if you get coverage you are still expected to meet all commitments and sales. That being said, if you attempt to take a vacation be prepared to pay dearly for the time off. This job is like living on a plantation away from your family and friends most of the time. I wish I checked Glassdoor reviews before accepting this horrible position at Ecolab.
