What does the leadership team need to get better at?
There must be some sort of culture redesign.
Understanding that their decisions impact moral and motivation
Caring about their workers and providing appropriate wages.
Do not care for the front line workers. Ecolab is greedy and take from the boots on the ground people.
Stop treating employees like robots and realize employees need to be paid competitive wages to live.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
As a field, we have not seen a significant increase in our pay to match our record, setting stock, price and sales growth
The country where I live, truck drivers earn more money than I do after more than 20 years.
Over all corporate pay america Is horrible and unfair. Time for unions.
Maybe give bonuses. Merit increases
Getting me closer to market rates that are being offered to me. Approximately 40% off from competing offers, especially odd for a person identified as high potential
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The company offers a nice upfront training program for new employees. However the day it ends they are tossed to wolves under a management team who has never done their job and cannot provide further field training. This creates a huge knowledge gap in the field that propagates into compounded issue
Work together not take advantage of who ever you can so they can get promoted
lot of areas of improvement
We have a great district, lots of experience and helpful.
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Change the CEO to someone who cares about their people. Doug Baker is missed.
We need more people in thr field
Leadership needs to place value in it front line workers
Honesty clear upword movement goals not nepotism they sre going broke loosing market share in institutional while the rest of divisions loose money Gates is paying out dividends and controlling more to not loose his money
Resignation and jump to other company
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
it doesnt have any idea how too hire people
Look for highly educated career minded people. Not grunts.
Make it a faster process
My interview was working for a whole year as a temp. Make a 90 day rule for temp to full time
Reduce the number of people who need to interview candidates. AGAIN - empower your managers!
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
managers need to step up and help
We raise the prices with no communication. We change the service schedule with no communication. It is ridiculous. The only reason our customers stay is because of the frontline employees and the relationships with the Corporate Account team.
Investing morenin your employees and less toward greed
Go back to TM's snd make them hourly so management can't just take advantage of there employees
The culture at Ecolab is replace not retain. The supervisors and team leaders will not even try to work with a new employee. Their thought is lose them and hope the temp service brings in someone better. Sometimes if you take the time and actually work with the person they end up being very good.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
There's a disconnect between strategic initiatives and staffing to support them - many non-chemistry related disciplines are understaffed and stressed.
