      Ecolab is a strong company built on some old-fashioned principles.

      Pros

      The company is strong and has sustained continual growth and expansion. As the industry leader in it's market, Ecolab provides great job security.

      Cons

      Many managers still do not provide regular or positive feedback. Numerous changes in staff in the HR department causes many eyebrows to raise on a regular basis. As a manager, you are expected to work your tail off, but that also depends on your manager. That translates to very little consistency between expectations from position to position within the organization.

      Doing a fine job

      Pros

      Very ethical company. Most employees work from their homes.

      Cons

      In a large company such as this where several employees work from their homes, sometimes communication isn't the best between upper management on down.

      Not Sexy - Just Focused, Well-Run and Solid

      Pros

      Ecolab is a good, solid company. It's not "Sexy" - not like a dotcom or ultra-high-tech or anything - but they handle the blocking and tackling of their industry really, really well. They are focused on solid, sustainable (economically AND environmentally) growth. They don't go looking for huge splashes, they just focus leading their industry and serving their customers well. And it's amazing how powerful they are in their market segment; they dominate bigger, better-known companies in terms of market share. The benefits are amazing, the salaries decent. The culture is a little "relationship-based", but not to a stupid extent (like United Healthcare). In a city full of badly-run corporations, Ecolab is (so far) a joy to behold.

      Cons

      Again, the corporate culture is very relationship based. People tend to stay at Ecolab a looong time, and getting things does IS often a matter of "who you know" within the company. This isn't all bad - it's not like everything about the company's future is decided by a bunch of morons on a golf course (see: United HealthCare)
