Pros

Limited likelihood of lay-offs, good benefit options, you'll always have something to do and no 2 days will ever be the same.

Cons

Very little vacation, low pay and no work/life flexibility for supervisors of non-exempt staff. Only the "chosen ones" are given development opportunities and promotions, the rest of us are just left to plow through the work and not rock the boat. If you happen to fit the Ecolab mold, they'll love you and you'll love them, but if you do not "bleed blue" you'll most likely feel pretty excluded and ignored.

It's still an enjoyable place to work.

Pros

It's a stable work environment. Co-workers are very easy to work with and are very talented. When possible the work schedule is flexible when needed.

Cons

A lot of travel, work very long hours and they spread their employees very thin. Moral overall has been on the decline for awhile.

Pros

Relatively high salary Ability to advance

Cons

Short sighted. Even ideas with a 6 month payback period are too "long term". Unsafe. Storage of acids and bases together. Unvented reactions. Unhealthy. Think of EPA permissible levels as "goals"
