Pros

A very nice social package, meals are paid and the work environment is very pleasant. People are really helpful and friendly, and that's what Ecolab culture brings about.

Cons

Some IT processes are not structured enough, and sometimes it is hard to reach the IT department, but nothing in particular.

Pros

Flexible schedule, management that is focused on team development and they listen to what you have to say no matter what position you hold. They understand the “little guy” is the front line and face of the company and structure pay in a way that refeclts that message. Flexible schedule.

Cons

Long hours, some weeks where 70-80 hours. They do average about 50, overtime is paid so that’s a bonus

Pros

I currently work at Ecolab’s Headquarters in Minnesota. I originally pursued a career with Ecolab because it is a historically ethical company with that has values and morals that I could easily get behind. They care for their employees, focus on promoting internally, and moving associates around the company to get a better range of experiences and maintain job satisfaction. I have thoroughly enjoyed being introduced to Ecolab’s culture and learning more about the different ways to can get involved throughout the company.

Cons

I was brought on as a contractor, which would be my only area of improvement for Ecolab. There are a lot of things that contractors do not have access to, and a various activities and on-boarding experiences that they are excluded from. However, this seems to be an area of improvement that is already on management’s radar and I have already seen some improvement on this.
