      Pros

      Fun job, everyday was different. Easy to make lots of money. Although you had to constantly track it down and ask for it.

      Cons

      To be successful within this company, any position above DM you must be willing to uproot your family and move across country. You have to be good and pounding and regurgitating corporate cool-aid, even though it’s both morally and ethical is wrong, also contradictory to previous policies or mission statements, but you want more money at any expense right! There is no “culture” to Ecolab anymore, the owner would probably roll in his grave to know how current management has destroyed that. There is nothing “fair” or “right” by anything they do. It’s all smoke and mirrors at the expense of the work horses who bleed and sweat on the daily basis and will be sacrificed in a moments notice.

      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.
