Pros

Interesting fulfilling work with good professional folks that you respected for their knowledge. Good Benefits Good work life balance Company believed in itself and honesty was held up as a solid fundamental core to our business even after the Ecolab buyout.

Cons

Since the Champion merger when Champion was put in charge of US operations morale and sales have dropped. Nalco employees are treated like they do not matter. Long term Nalco employees have been let go Most of the Champion folks don't even have college degrees At Champion sales people are service tech on salary

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.
