Pros
fair benefits, great retirement/ 401 k plan
Cons
Before this review is taken with a grain of salt, let me say that for the first 5-6 years I was employed here, I bled Ecolab blue and I would tell everyone I came into contact with that this was the BEST company that I ever worked for and they would have to blast me out of here. However, since about 2012-2013, that all started to change and Ecolab is NOT the great ethical place that they would have you to believe. Upper management within the division is full of liars and backstabbers who would rob their grandmothers and sacrifice their children to cover their own rear ends. Work life balance is a MYTH. As a manager it is 24/ 7/ 365 on call period. Time off for vacation is nonexistent. Pay plan for field management is not commensurate with the job requirements. Ecolab has lost sight of what made the pest division great in the first place. They no longer hire and promote the best talent for positions. They hire and promote through the "good ole boy system". The field training for service specialists sucks at best as the training is not real world and new service specialist are immediately overwhelmed when they are assigned to their routes. The new service specialist pay plan is also a joke. Some of the districts are so large, the managers need to spend nights and in some cases, weeks away from their families if they have open routes in a remote part of the district.
