Pros

Schedule, Money, Company car, you are in charge of your own success.

Cons

Once you make 70k its hard to make more money unless you get lots of promotions. After 5 years is a first promotion, another 5 for second promotion, and 5 to 10 for the third promotion where you are likely to actually make some money. This is if you get hired as a TM, if you are hired as an RM it will take alot longer.

Pros

Overall a stable company. Some career growth opportunities if you find yourself a manager who cares about you. Competent management team.

Cons

Ecolab uses its size to hire above average people at below average cost. Personal growth largely dependent on your manager.

No personal time and not much for developing engineering skills

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent senior management, fair amount of training regarding Ecolab system, external safety training, etc

Cons

Absolutely no personal time (plant is setup for 5 day work week. Many weeks - and generally all of summer, is 7 day operation. With 4-5 supervisors, that equals about 60-80 hours per week at times - sometimes more. Majority of day is spent reviewing hundred plus page packaging records (did an operator place a "T" or "F" for a quality check. Not very motivating for an engineer. Complaints of bias in promotions has some truth, but when you are working all those hours, my concern was much more on getting home than who got promoted. Magazine reports of great place to work is based on HQ and not plant environment. Of course HQ has high ratings - 5 day/40 hour work week, onsite bank+ perks, etc. would be great.
