Ecolab reviews

Let me start out saying that once you sign on with this company it is a 24/7 job and your home life will become nonexistent so if you're married or have children this is probably not the place for you! 7 week training program is very thorough but once out on your own you are left to fend for yourself, no help whatsoever from coworkers/management, this may be in my district only, not sure about other regions. Promises made on a regular basis from management that are empty and never followed through with. Pay scale is very confusing so you really never know how much you actually make hourly/annually. No one here at this company seems to care if you're job is done correctly just as long as the invoices are ran by end of month you're good to go no matter how poorly you perform at your job duties and that will be difficult for some to swallow if you take pride in your work! Corporate America at its finest !

The job is extremely painful with very long hours and you are bound by customer's calling in at anytime so it is very difficult to get rest. Taking care of your customers is very fun and rewarding but your manager can make your life very hard. If you get a bad boss then you will not like working here. If you have a great boss then you will be able to tolerate the long hours and thankless effort you put in. Either way, when you work at Ecolab you will work your tail off. You always here the motto: "Work Hard, Play Hard" ... but for Ecolab it is only "Work Hard, Work Hard and then Work Some More". The work/life balance is not there... when you take a vacation you are still responsible for doing 4 weeks of work in 3 weeks so when you leave you are so exhausted it is difficult to enjoy it. Ecolab is very painful and you will work very long hours with no additional pay. Lastly, ambition and creativity is not rewarded at Ecolab. Ecolab is not looking for your ideas at the Territory Manager level, they only want you to comply and do what they ask with no suggestions on how things could be better... "March on Soldier!" As a Five Year Anniversary Gift to myself, I turned in my 2 week notice." Best thing I could have done for myself and my marriage. I am grateful I don't work at Ecolab anymore.
