State of the art engineering capabilities World class facilities around the world Ecolab offers all of the essential resources and staffing to provide a worldclass opportunity.

Cons

Too Political at every level. Witchhunts are the norm. It is easier to pass blame than to establish the cause of an issue and evaluate a resolution. Woman at high positions are figureheads-Purely Male driven company

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Opportunity to work independently without being micromanaged.

Cons

I think we work hard and deserve more time off. Also if you support an AVP or CAM they get bonuses and we are not compensated at ALL. At the very least we should recieve a gift card for complimentary lunch or spa treatment...a little something to say "thanks for your hard work". The Administrative Assts are also seen as expendable. If we mess up they will fire us in a heartbeat but if the Assistant Vice-Presidents screw up they just get transfered.
