Pros

My coworkers are great people who are always willing to help out with a project or problem. The compensation program has the potential to earn employees good money if they work hard. Relatively stable demand for the products we are selling.

Cons

I don't believe management intentionally misleads employees about their compensation but accounts are bought and sold sometimes resulting in major compensation issues. There is 100% pressure to make Ecolab the number one priority in life, even over family. The technology available to support field representatives is not up to modern levels.

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.
