      Poor service, worst company I have ever worked for

      Pros

      Great benefits, generous Superannuation policy, company vehicle and fuel card, fantastic co-workers, that is, the ones that you can trust once you get past the climate of fear and suspicion

      Cons

      Corporate arrogance flowing down from those above you that think that they know best and what the hell would you know anyway. The management team have no idea how to really listen to their workers, have a sales focus that does not seem to understand the value of their staff and customers, this company is run by bean counters that have lost touch with the real world and what customer service is. The great benefits will not be there forever, if the management style does not change, they won't have any customers soon.

      Pros

      flexible hours and a great opportunity to move up. Benefits provided are above the avergae for the industry and make the lower salary tolerable

      Cons

      too much of a who knows who and the relationships b/t the seperate divisions make things a difficult. Maybe too large of a company because it is easy to go unoticed even when you are doing really well

      Pros

      The culture of Ecolab varies significantly between divisions and even departments. Some divisions have the reputation of working employees excessively while others (such as R&D) are known for being more flexible and providing more recognition and support. Ecolab has a strong track record of success and will likely continue to have very good performance. The organization also contributes significantly to the community and to philanthropic causes. I always felt proud to work for Ecolab. There are many truly wonderful and talented people who work for the organization, and if you are lucky enough to work for one, you will likely love your job and have a very positive experience with the company.

      Cons

      I experienced or witnessed many examples of employees being expected to perform with inadequate resources, sometimes to the extreme. The culture at Ecolab is not diverse - in gender, ethnicity or even in personality/communications style. Outgoing, aggressive (or at least assertive) men seem to do best within the organization. I did not witness much tolerance for different work styles, although this varied between divisions. There also seems to be little trust of employees to do the job for which they were hired, resulting in reduced authority to make decisions or take action without an arguably excessive number of approvals.
