Pros

Great benefits (401k, medical/dental), company vehicle (for my job as a field service tech), autonomy, good pay.

Cons

I'm bias in that Ecolab had "acquired" our formerly successful service company (restaurant equipment repair). M-A-N-Y changes later and much business lost as a result. "Service" techs (the backbone of our business) forced to become "sales" techs - with management (ignorant of the trade) "brought" IN after prior managers (promoted from WITHIN) - got out. New management disparaged our purpose and value to the company - and even let go the ones who didn't meet their "proposed" (arbitrary) sales figures. After thirteen years there, I smartened up and got out myself.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, great people to work with.

Cons

Project deadlines are unrealistic. The process of back filling crucial roles takes way too long.
