      Ecolab...A great place to work.

      Corporate account manager

      Pros

      Fair treatment and superlative advancement opportunities were what made Ecolab a great place to work. It is an outstanding company and has taken the lead in environmental responsibility with regards to chemical manufacturing, distribution, and application.

      Cons

      There is a lot of competition within the organization which is not a bad scenario. Sometimes personal gain is thrust in front of team building which may lead to dissemination among the ranks. Management is well aware of the pitfalls, and takes corrective action to deal with "ladder climbing" and "back stabbing".

      Forget about life

      Service specialist

      Pros

      Quite a bit of freedom in scheduling your work. Or at least until this year. Decent pay and health insurance.

      Cons

      24-7 on call, lots of out of pocket expenses, lots of driving time that you do not really get paid for, all extra work customer demands you will do without additional pay. Terrible hours, I work in the mornings to late afternoon then have to go back and work at night finishing my work around 2 or 3 am , then have to start all over again next morning. Forget vacation. Yes they give you vacation, but in order to take it you have to finish all your accounts and call backs that take the entire month in 2 or 3 weeks. You will be so tired when you take vacation that you'll do nothing but sleep.This job well leave you burned out with no time for life.

      Rewarding work, great co-workers, poor leadership

      Pros

      The co-workers and interaction with key customers make this job worth it. The teamwork and frequent interfacing with customers to complete very important projects is fulfilling.

      Cons

      There is little to no strategic vision within the divisions. The communication and cooperation between the silo-ed divisions is poor. Poor pay for the incredible amount of hours and demands placed upon employees at every level. Ecolab is significantly behind in technology and there seems to be no desire to catch up. Feedback and recognition are non-existent unless you are fortunate enough to be a part of an old school clique.
