Pros

Good compensation plan and benefits plan. Local management is very supportive in helping you to achieve your goals with the company.

Cons

Internal communication from the top to bottom needs a lot of improvement. Technology improvements seem to be slower than other companies.

Pros

Company vehicle with fuel card Good 401k program with match company has a generally good reputation in the industry most of your coworkers are helpful and team players

Cons

biggest competitor will be other ecolab employees. Territory boundries are non-existant or not enforced. Current bonus structure is complicated and almost impossible to acheive. Income growth is slow or stagnant. Very cliquish. If your not one of the 'in' crowd, your not going anywhere. Current street level managers are generally incompitant compared to what they used to be. Most could care less about the people that work for them, only about themselves and getting ahead. There are two types of people that work for ecolab, those that can do nothing wrong (the 'in' crowd), and those that can do nothing right. If your working for them, and not promoted before your 35, get out. The only ones that are looked on favorably are white males, under 40 years old with a full head of hair.
