Pros

Flexible hours sometimes. Opportunity for advancement. Good health benefits, 401k and pension. The company is strong, and you can work your way up from the bottom.

Cons

Although the hours can be flexible at times, other times you can find yourself working 16 hour days. Sometimes you may work a full day and have to go back to work in the middle of eating dinner. Management at the local level does not have a say in anything and they do not communicate upwards. They only take orders from the corporate office and pass them down. The compensation is plan is very unfair. Everytime you get ahead a little bit, Ecolab manipulates your compensation. No one will ever listen to your complaints about money, no matter how hard you work!!

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.
