Pros

Many options to move locations or jobs within different departments, increased professional development visibility and requirements, flexible scheduling, paid parental leave, 401K and stock purchase match, competitive paid time off schedule

Cons

Very little diversity within corporate structure (and no plan to reconcile), wages are NOT competitive within the field, business model is basically buy little companies with added workload to current employees, little engagement with management unless required, questionable business practices and tax evasion within State of MN, big sponsorships at sporting events but few rewards for employees

We are always working to improve the employee experience, so we appreciate your feedback and take it seriously. At Ecolab, we believe the best teams are diverse and inclusive, and our commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment starts at the top. Doug Baker, our CEO, signed the CEO Action Pledge for Diversity & Inclusion in 2017, and we continue to engage with this group. Additionally, we have formed an e-level diversity & inclusion council to build out a multi-year strategy to address the areas where we can make the biggest impact. Our goal is to ensure that differences are valued and everyone can learn, grow and make an impact. We recognize we can always improve, and we’re committed to this work for the long term. Furthermore, one of our values is that we do what is right. We take ethical concerns seriously and provide a variety of avenues for employees to confidentially share concerns so that they can be investigated.

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.
