Pros
Paid training, equipment provided, work at home, benefits (costly, not the best but better than nothing). Huge company with lots of room for advancement once you've worked at Ecolab in your hired position for 6 months or more. If you're fortunate to have a supportive supervisor, your experience working at Ecolab will be a positive one.
Cons
Micromanagement. Pushed to meet unrealistic goals like providing excellent customer service in 135 seconds or less. Mixed messages from supervisors and help line, both providing different answers to the same questions. Continual changes to procedures. Lots of angry callers who have been either been transferred all over the company or been promised resolution but are left hanging. Expected to take on more work and training without added compensation. Getting a Monday, Friday or holiday off is next to impossible. Requests must be made as far as 6 months in advance and even then, you're lucky if you get the requested time off. Must get current supervisor approval to apply for another, even unrelated, position within the company. New paperless policy, meaning nothing hanging in your work area to use as reminder or guide to procedures and no use of personal notes to refer to either (must use online procedure manual and hope to use the right key word to quickly search topic you need help with).
