This job is a joke!

Pros

Company car, expense account, working from home, management sucks so it is easy to do what you want to do with little attention or feedback.

Cons

The company is letting a talented technical sales force be managed by a bunch of guys that were either in marketing or were good at slinging soap(high volume, low value, low ability level sales with Ecolab's other divisions). They are extremely arrogant because they came from the bottom of the barrel to the top and now think they are something great(you would think this would be the opposite). There were several great leaders in this division that have left for good or bad reasons or they are still there but now marginalized. This is not for anyone with an engineering or strong leadership background. If you are set on this particular field there are better opportunities with competitors.

Pros

Company car, benefits, etc. Possibility for higher commissions is there with new accounts. However, when you accounts leave your territory, your fault or not, your commissions reflect the loss, also.

Cons

Ruin suits and ties with the grim found on the underside of commercial dishwashers in the nastiest kitchens. College grad means nothing. If you are close with sales specialists you can do well, that's basically the only way.

Vehicle Care is an unwanted step-child

Pros

Good solid company. Tough to get fired, basically if you don't sell what they want and don't make service calls, you're gone. Otherwise, they'll work with you.

Cons

Vehicle Care is often looked down on. Pest and Institutional are the company's money makers so they get what they want. Stay away from Vehicle Care.
