Pros

Decent pay for an internship Looks good on resumes - highly selective Free trip to St. Paul for internship kickoff Helps with developing sales techniques

Cons

Service work - you have to be "dressy" and yet are required to crawl under dishwashers and install things in foul-smelling kitchens and retirement homes... if you aren't good with hand-on things, this probably isn't the internship for you. Misleading - they call this a "sales" internship, yet most of your time is spent fixing dishwashers and soap dispensers. Car required - if you don't have a car, don't even think about being a territory sales manager intern with Ecolab. And, if you do have a car, be prepared to put a few thousand miles on it over the summer.

Pros

Some of the management that have been there awhile try to help develop people and the business. Previous leaders really believed in the team approach. The goal was to improve the work environment, quality of the product and output of manufacturing. Significant improvements were made.

Cons

New management came in and focus changed. To work here you now must be ready to kiss up to the right clique, otherwise you will be pushed aside. Gone is the overall teamwork, only the clique. Focus has change to production, production, production.
