Pros

They offered a pension and 401k

Cons

The pay is very confusing and there has been many errors in my personal compensation that were only found by myself after digging deep and making many phone calls. I'm sure that there were many others that I was not aware of that were essentially stolen from me by Ecolab. You will miss holidays and weekends and will feel like you are always "on call" as you basically are. They will demand extra work outside of your job description and will not compensate you for it. They will serve you the "kool-aid" and tell you what you need to hear until the bitter end to milk everything they can from you. In the end you are only a number here and can be replaced at any point. Not a bad gig when you are in your 20's, but if you have a family you will feel the strain. I feel like they were a great company to work for in the past, but now they just need bodies to fill a spot and it feels like it.

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
