Great company but challenging to work for

Pros

Strong growth and performance culture. There are many opportunities for people who are willing to work hard and produce results. I found their remuneration to be fair.

Cons

Ecolab can be a very demanding place to work. I found work / life balance was difficult to achieve. The company will take as much as you give it in its effort to drive year on year growth. It is up to you to say enough as their focus over recent years has gone away from looking after its people first.

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.
