Pros

Pay isn't terrible, but when the company loses your customer, you lose money. Pretty good benefits. Company car, and gas/phone allowance. Solid line of products to sell.

Cons

Compensation program is extremely complicated, and when trying to explain it to others, they get extremely confused. It gets confusing for TMs too. Flexible-ish schedule, but when it comes to getting time off, good luck. There isn't much paid vacation, and you still have to take calls while you're gone. Organizational structure is a disaster - salespeople are also repairmen. It might make sense to have sales division separate from the repair division. Management doesn't respect employees. They bark orders and rudely make demands, instead of trying to work with employees. No defined territories, so you'll be competing with your fellow TMs for sales, and three other levels of sales staff at Ecolab - as well as the outside competitor. Corporate sales initiatives aren't reasonable.

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
