Pros

Company provides vehicle, cell phone and laptop.

Cons

Notice that if you separate the field from the corporate reviews, the field reviews are overwhelmingly negative. There is no work life balance. "Your voice matters" is nothing other than a slogan at the field level. You will have to work extra hours to meet your numbers. Everything is about how much revenue you can produce. If you have sketchy ethics you can succeed wildly by turning up the amount of chemical a customer uses or by replacing parts that aren't bad. Until there are too many customer complaints. I've seen a "Technician of the year" get fired because of that. Ecolab boasts of being a Fortune 500 company but doesn't pay like one. Instead the try to pay like their regional competitors.

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
