Pros

The job stability here is really great, as are some of the people who work here. Employee-run resource groups (ERGs) are great, inclusive, and helpful on a personal level. Ecolab can be such a force for good, but it feels like it has taken a pretty strong "profits are the only thing" attitude with the new CEO.

Cons

The health benefits are pretty bad, the PTO policy is average at best, and the pay leaves a *lot* of room to be desired. Management - from middle management up to the C-suite - tend to firmly believe a "lead from behind" strategy. They roll out a lot of initiatives and then don't show up again until the next initiative rollout, leaving everyday workers to sit and wonder what it is they're doing on a day-to-day basis.
