There is a lot of sucking up that goes on in order for people to get promoted. - Finance Administrator Ecolab Employee Review

Pros

Flexibility with the schedule. Free parking.

Cons

Hard to get promoted because of lack of available openings. Top management is white males. They are racist towards other races and women, especially in Ecosure. They would rather hire people from the outside instead of hiring qualified people than know about the business from inside.

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.
