Pros

Salary and package and some of the good people that work there.

Cons

Head count driven business that will watch you drown. Will give you in excess of 50 roles and then allow you to be bullied by hiring managers. Awful culture and very high attrition. Ask them how many talent and HR professionals they have gone through in the past 3 years alone! Reach out on LinkedIn to ex employees and get the true story on how you will be treated before accepting a role with them! If you are professional and care about people Ecolab is not for you. Ecolab expect you to bend the rules and go against CIPD guidelines.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
