Pros

Company vehicle, gas card, work phone.

Cons

Upper Management and HR has no clue what happens in the field. Some men and women in remote territories are on call 24 seven with no one to cover weekends or vacation. During the last three years long-term employees who had a slightly higher compensation rate based on longevity and previous compensation scale were systematically terminated and replaced with new employees making less money and receiving less benefits. As a result district and regional managers are compensated through bonuses for giving the appearance of higher profit margins. When reporting work related injuries to district managers, associate district managers and safety champions employees are asked to work through their injuries, and not take the report further because of being shorthanded and the constant employee turnover and are asked to be a team player. Employees who have stellar records, have never been written up and have won every award that the company has to offer are then critiqued on their work while performing it injured and After repeated requests for help because of the injury. This is not an isolated example! The deficiencies of injured employees are then documented and then used to terminate the injured employee before they even have the opportunity to have their injuries cared for. If you are a current employee of Ecolab or considering taking a position with this company and are the type of individual who wants to be a team player and strives to be an excellent employee PROTECT YOURSELF FIRST! District and Regional managers have the ability to pass information to HR that is inaccurate and misleading that can result in termination of employment with no questions asked to the employee.

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.
