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

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
