I have held 4 positions with Ecolab in 8 yearscur. Currently serving as District Manager for the Pest Division
Pros
High career ceiling if you are relocatble as there are multiple divisions with varying levels of leadership roles in each division,so if you are seeking a company y who rewards and promotes their top performers,it is worth a look. Benefits are what you would expect from a company of its size and a recent focus on finding ways to improve work/life balance "should" improve the job and their employee engagement scores
Cons
They have not developed a way to tackle the work life balance piece for their associates and with the volatile business we operate in, there is always pressure beyond your pay scale that dictates your life more than you dictate on your own. In other words, you work long hours,often out of town, and you are on call 24/7 so escaping from your work is very difficult and the company can become your life rather than a part of it. You must be a strong individual with an iron will and a good chin to survive. If you are Looking for a laid back, slow paced, 9-5 job...keep looking. If you are highly motivated with limited family ties, it could be a great fit,
