Ecolab reviews

Notice that if you separate the field from the corporate reviews, the field reviews are overwhelmingly negative. There is no work life balance. "Your voice matters" is nothing other than a slogan at the field level. You will have to work extra hours to meet your numbers. Everything is about how much revenue you can produce. If you have sketchy ethics you can succeed wildly by turning up the amount of chemical a customer uses or by replacing parts that aren't bad. Until there are too many customer complaints. I've seen a "Technician of the year" get fired because of that. Ecolab boasts of being a Fortune 500 company but doesn't pay like one. Instead the try to pay like their regional competitors.

Micromanaging from the very top of the company all the way down(gotten worse every year), Changed model of compensation from commission to Revenue Per Hour system, They require you to be on call once every couple months where you are basically working for free on other peoples problem accounts that are calling in over the weekend for service. This heavily effects your RPH. I worked my way up to about $70,000 over about 6 years, stayed at that for three years in a row. To go management route required taking a $20,000 pay cut and their sales positions are coveted and always full. There was nowhere else for me to go.
