Pros

Sound vision for the future, executive leadership will do anything it takes to meet their targets. I would not like to compete against Ecolab in large corporate bids as the company has ample resources to structure an attractive offer to its customers.

Cons

This company simply doesnt seem to care about its people. Every year they tighten the screws on expenses, find further ways to cut costs and decrease benefits and perks. We are in the middle of a historic Bull Market and Ecolab continues with its austerity efforts. Field sales/service teams are understaffed and overworked, the pressure to meet sometimes insurmountable targets is never loosened. Many aspiring and talented team members suffer burn out after 75 hour weeks trying to keep the wheels on the bus, just to hear that they have to do more with less by management.

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
