Ecolab Employer Reviews

they have territories, but let others poach...hard enough working against competition...

WHAT I MOST ENJOYED ABOUT THIS COMPANY IS THAT THEY HAVE SCHOOL DRIVES WHERE THEY DONATE MONEY TO LESS FORTUNATE SCHOOLS. THEY LISTEN TO YOU AND HELP YOU IN WHAT EVER AREA YOU NEED HELP IN. THERE'S ONLY TWO SHIFTS BUT THE PEOPLE ARE WONDERFUL.

I think Ecolab is a good place to work for overall. Some of the reviews are right, hours can be long, call backs can cause a lot of stress. the benefits a very good. Company vehicle is take home, which is very nice. Everyone that has been around for years makes at least $50,000 or more. Ecolab offers 401k stock purchase plan, retirement, and good health – more... insurance. Some of the service specialist do get tired and frustrated do to long hours. The vacation situation needs to be addressed. Hard to take a vacation our time off.but all things considered, it has provided a good lifestyle for my family. if you don't mind a long hours, and working hard.I would recommend ecolab to a friend or family member. – less

You are on call 24/7/365, so if your phone rings you answer it! Management is a joke! The managers have no clue as to what they are doing! How are you supposed to be lead by a manager that can not do the job they are managing? Constantly lying to customers to keep them from going to competitors, or they give them free product to keep them from going – more... to competitors. NO THANKS! I would never recommend this company to anyone! – less

Very clean factory to work for, everything was kept up to help there workers. Management would always come by and compliment on a good job you are doing. You always knew what you were going to be doing the next day if not the entire week. Never the same thing over and over.

A good company to work for, although the territories kept getting expanded requiring being on the road for up to a week at a time.

I've gained valuable Project Managment skills which allowed me to manage and complete business critical projects. working for this Global company have given me Management here are very accommodating to personal needs. Co-workers are very helpful and fun to work with.

I provide service for a route with about 100 customers. I ensure that my customers pass health inspection by maintaining and repairing large dish machines and chemical dispensing systems.
I have actually learned a lot from this job such basic electrical and plumbing. My mechanical aptitude has greatly improved.
The most enjoyable part of the job is – more... flexibility and communicating with different customers every day.
The most difficult part of the job are the service calls during a family outing or during a holiday. – less

Company culture is everything with Ecolab. Great for motivated self starters. I am quite sorry I left them.

Busy days of multi-tasking. The empoyees are great and work very hard.

The pay is good. The benefits are excellent. some traveling involed.

I work with great people as a team to help improve the quality of our products everyday.

When you went into work, you knew what had to be done. I gained a lot of knowledge about their computer system and how it worked. Didn't really see management to much. My co-workers were great people to work with. Everyone was very friendly and easy to get along with. The hardest part was having so much to learn in such a short period of time while – more... training. The most enjoyable part of my job there was the people and atmosphere. – less

Ecolab was kind of unique. Because of the type of employees it was a fun place to work. Everybody helped everybody meaning when things wer slow I would go to the production lines and help with the apckaging line. My basic responsibility when work in the lab as a technician was to test samples and make correction for the production dept. I was also placed – more... on all different shifts at a moments notice and was done with a smile because of the company as a whole. My typical day in the lab was to run test on production samples and adjust as needed. When samples were slow during the off shifts I would leave a note for production as to where I was, this was agreed for a way to operate as permission was given by the PM and go to the production packaging line and help out. Thats the way Ecolab workers were help each other and keep production levels up. The other part of my job was when I helped out in the shipping department when help was needed to make shipping invoices for the truckers and warehouse loader / pickers. Take inventory of products as requested. I learned a lot since Ecolab sets safety to a very high standard. I was sorry they closed and went to WV. I guess the hardest part of the job was saying goodbye to my fellow employees when we closed. I still keep in touch with a few of them. I guess the most enjoyable part of the job was the employees. We all had a good time there and a fun place to work. – less

Projects that added high value to the company.
Learning and speaking few languages and working with JDE ERP.
Organization open to new ideas.

I worked hard.. very hard; and went on Deployment and was treated good but when returned it was different.

Fun company to grow with. Like running your own company with the help from a large organization.

Nice work Culture. Worked on a pricing project. Learned a lot.

A typical day includes servicing existing customers, making sales calls to attain new business, installing any new customer equipment, handling any emergency calls that may come up, placing customer orders, placing parts and equipment orders for stock and installs. We handle all of these things while focusing on the number one goal of achieving budget – more... every month. I have learned alot about cleaning and sanitation, as well as advancing my chemical knowledge. I have found that our Ecolab group works well together. We have to rely on each other for call coverage, help with installs, and the occasional part. The hardest part of the job in my opinion would be making up sales dollars that were lost due to corporate follies. I especially enjoy helping my customers and teaching them proper procedures to increase their cleaning, sanitation, guest satisfaction, and thus growing their business. – less

Worked thre for 3 years ... Day and night .pay was pretty good compared to others in the industry . The one thing that ticked me off was that I was in a serious automobile accident due to a medical condition . Granted they paid me for 6 months I was out but upon returning to work told me I was fired due to my medical condition which thy found out from – more... accessing medical records w/o my permission . Mot of the techs don't have a clue and they were ,at the time, behind the times as far as pest control goes. Really? ... Should a restaurant continually have cockroaches after some one supposedly spends 2 hours at every week.? ... I could go on and on .....( 25 years in th business , ecolab was the worst 3) – less
