Pros

Company Vehicle with all expenses paid. Good not Great Benefits. Benefits are changing (not for the better) frequently.

Cons

High Pressure to made additional sales daily/weekly/monthly/yearly! Like many jobs, it becomes very repetitive and OLD! Causes some reps to sell items, which include chemicals and related products that aren't needed. Ecolab management runs on the EPS mindset. While they want to take care of the customer, it's all with the Stock Market in mind. This company works employees to the bone. Very poor work/life balance. This means that you're on call 24/7/365 unless you have another associate cover for you. This can be difficult. You're on call until at least 11PM daily unless it's a large customer .. Corporate will call you at any time of the night! That SUCKS!! Actually there are to many cons to list!!!

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.
