Pros

Safety is a priority for Ecolab. It was before, during and after COVID. It is what I liked most about this company.

Cons

While the company talks a lot about diversity, and being a place for people with diversity to come and work, don't believe it. When I applied for accommodations through HR I was retaliated against by upper management and had to file a complaint. The company itself also pushed back on the request from my doctor. Additionally, not everyone or positions are required to be on site equally. My coworker, who was hired on knowing they had to come in 3-5 days a week, and my direct supervisors, all worked remote, but I could not, even with a doctors note.

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.
