Pros

Sound vision for the future, executive leadership will do anything it takes to meet their targets. I would not like to compete against Ecolab in large corporate bids as the company has ample resources to structure an attractive offer to its customers.

Cons

This company simply doesnt seem to care about its people. Every year they tighten the screws on expenses, find further ways to cut costs and decrease benefits and perks. We are in the middle of a historic Bull Market and Ecolab continues with its austerity efforts. Field sales/service teams are understaffed and overworked, the pressure to meet sometimes insurmountable targets is never loosened. Many aspiring and talented team members suffer burn out after 75 hour weeks trying to keep the wheels on the bus, just to hear that they have to do more with less by management.

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.
