Pros

Company provides vehicle, cell phone and laptop.

Cons

Notice that if you separate the field from the corporate reviews, the field reviews are overwhelmingly negative. There is no work life balance. "Your voice matters" is nothing other than a slogan at the field level. You will have to work extra hours to meet your numbers. Everything is about how much revenue you can produce. If you have sketchy ethics you can succeed wildly by turning up the amount of chemical a customer uses or by replacing parts that aren't bad. Until there are too many customer complaints. I've seen a "Technician of the year" get fired because of that. Ecolab boasts of being a Fortune 500 company but doesn't pay like one. Instead the try to pay like their regional competitors.

Pros

A job and make some money

Cons

Everything. You are on your own to sink or swim. If you have a family or a life outside of work you and kiss them goodbye because you will never see them again. You will drive 5 hour one way and work 9 hours in the hot sun with only a 30 minute lunch break and then drive 5 hours back home only to have to do it again the next day which is only a few more hours.
