Excellent opportunity to experience every type of sanitation imaginable. Learning the sales portion of the business was a an excellent challenge. The sales part of the business is an easy way to make a lot of money and to be in charge of your own destiny.

long hours for little pay no personel life
Pest elimination specialist (Former Employee), Hawaii –
Pros: only took a year to wise up
Cons: didnt leave sooner

management is a joke claim one team one goal but never around for help or support. Hard to do job because the supplies are scarce and then management complains because you dont do your job hard to do a job correctly when you dont have the right equipment.
Family life was GREATLY affected almost got – more...  a divorce. Very STRESSFULL job with call backs, customer sales, etc... would never work for company again. – less

Where are we going?
Associate Network Infrastructure Analyst (Current Employee), Eagan, MN –
Currently merged with another company and the vision of where they want to go is different than where the company is actually heading. The management is not always communicating with their employees leaving us in the dark on projects and deadlines. Ecolab is a good company, it is just hard at this time to give them a high grade with all the things that – more...  are going on. – less

Not worth the pay
Territory Manager (Current Employee), US –
Pros: great pay and benefits
Cons: really long hours, rarely see your family, constant threat of being fired
This job pays great and has awesome benefits. However, you will hardly ever see your family, you will work really long hours and it will slowly damage your body. Plus, they are constantly threatening to fire you even if you make budget because all your other "numbers" aren't perfect. Its not work it!

High expectations without providing the necessary resources
Director (Former Employee), St. Paul –
Pros: good pay
Cons: long hours, no balance, mediocre benefits
I was with this company for just under five years. The culture I encountered was management by intimidation. VP’s had a ‘just do it attitude’ and required total loyalty while providing little support.
Very high potential for burnout.
