      Rewarding work, great co-workers, poor leadership

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The co-workers and interaction with key customers make this job worth it. The teamwork and frequent interfacing with customers to complete very important projects is fulfilling.

      Cons

      There is little to no strategic vision within the divisions. The communication and cooperation between the silo-ed divisions is poor. Poor pay for the incredible amount of hours and demands placed upon employees at every level. Ecolab is significantly behind in technology and there seems to be no desire to catch up. Feedback and recognition are non-existent unless you are fortunate enough to be a part of an old school clique.

      What it is to sell soap

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Schedule, Money, Company car, you are in charge of your own success.

      Cons

      Once you make 70k its hard to make more money unless you get lots of promotions. After 5 years is a first promotion, another 5 for second promotion, and 5 to 10 for the third promotion where you are likely to actually make some money. This is if you get hired as a TM, if you are hired as an RM it will take alot longer.

      Cool internship - good pay

      Territory sales manager intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay for an internship Looks good on resumes - highly selective Free trip to St. Paul for internship kickoff Helps with developing sales techniques

      Cons

      Service work - you have to be "dressy" and yet are required to crawl under dishwashers and install things in foul-smelling kitchens and retirement homes... if you aren't good with hand-on things, this probably isn't the internship for you. Misleading - they call this a "sales" internship, yet most of your time is spent fixing dishwashers and soap dispensers. Car required - if you don't have a car, don't even think about being a territory sales manager intern with Ecolab. And, if you do have a car, be prepared to put a few thousand miles on it over the summer.
