Pros

Many options to move locations or jobs within different departments, increased professional development visibility and requirements, flexible scheduling, paid parental leave, 401K and stock purchase match, competitive paid time off schedule

Cons

Very little diversity within corporate structure (and no plan to reconcile), wages are NOT competitive within the field, business model is basically buy little companies with added workload to current employees, little engagement with management unless required, questionable business practices and tax evasion within State of MN, big sponsorships at sporting events but few rewards for employees

We are always working to improve the employee experience, so we appreciate your feedback and take it seriously. At Ecolab, we believe the best teams are diverse and inclusive, and our commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment starts at the top. Doug Baker, our CEO, signed the CEO Action Pledge for Diversity & Inclusion in 2017, and we continue to engage with this group. Additionally, we have formed an e-level diversity & inclusion council to build out a multi-year strategy to address the areas where we can make the biggest impact. Our goal is to ensure that differences are valued and everyone can learn, grow and make an impact. We recognize we can always improve, and we’re committed to this work for the long term. Furthermore, one of our values is that we do what is right. We take ethical concerns seriously and provide a variety of avenues for employees to confidentially share concerns so that they can be investigated.

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
