Pros

Fully maintained modern car, Credit card, Autonomy- Some fantastic Co-workers and senior support staff (please hold on to them). Salary is good if you worked just 40 hrs BUT you do not more like 55+

Cons

No life/ work balance- Emails,calls,texts on weekends and Holidays, sick (from management and customers)- if you are approved for your holiday- no one covers your area while away, so massive issues to deal with on your return. The work load became unmanageable the last few months I was there as the expectations have changed to included Business development manager as well as servicing a very large customer base that requires training,order management,installing and servicing equipment, sales. ESR call outs (yes that takes up a big chunk of the day) No over time is given and you easily work 55+ hours a week. If you have children you will not see them. I have meet some great managers in my time there and some terrible ones- like any where. Depending on which one you get it will make or break your time with Ecolab- as it is high stress but with the right supportive manager it can make it fun and enjoyable.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
