Pros

Pay is good. Benefits are okay. Company car and phone is pretty cool. Flexibility in hours to an extent.

Cons

Being on call all the time. Dealing with restaurant managers that are unwilling to cooperate. Too many corporate rollouts. No support from management. Unwillingness to move or promote people. customers expect the world because the call outs are free so instead of responding to emergencies, you respond to silly calls all the time for no extra pay. Management will always side with the customer even if they are plain wrong. Ecolab claims to be all about safety, however it's totally fine for you to work 12+ hours and then still drive out for an hour to respond to a call. If you do well one year, your budget will be set extra high the next, so you can't possibly stay successful.

Pros

A job and make some money

Cons

Everything. You are on your own to sink or swim. If you have a family or a life outside of work you and kiss them goodbye because you will never see them again. You will drive 5 hour one way and work 9 hours in the hot sun with only a 30 minute lunch break and then drive 5 hours back home only to have to do it again the next day which is only a few more hours.
