ECI has gone through a significant management change during COVID.  The company in the past was a good place to start a career, as it provided ample opportunity to grow, develop, and take on new work.  

With the new leadership, despite appearances, the obvious goal has shifted to making as much revenue as possible in a short period of time, without any regard for the people that built the company, or those that will stay, after the executives will cash out.  Actions don't often match words here and the small investment in HR should be a huge red flag.

Those in St. Louis are slowly being pushed out the door, bullied by management in Mexico, or being moved to Detroit.  Do not take jobs here with any expectation the office will stay, or you will have any job advancement.

This job seemed great when I was first hired, I thought the pay was nice and the people...until training ended. This job is extremally stressful, you have to handle 7+ accounts with some of them being pretty big names. You definitely work past your scheduled hours by a couple hours sometimes, and on the weekends a lot! The good thing is the training you receive on excel, but that's pretty much all the training you get. You are thrown into a mess with little help, you are expected to just figure out a lot of stuff. The pay is not fair at all for your work load and responsibilities, also you do not get very many vacation days and no sick days. The experience you get handling these customers and working with planners is the best part of this job. There is no career advancement.

You are expected to work afterhours several times throughout the year and do not adequately get paid for your time worked. There is zero career advancement opportunities and little to no training. 

The good about this job is a decent work life balance. There is no sick time but employees are allowed to work from home if needed. 

Pay is very low for industry standards and for the job you are actually performing. The amount of work expected is not worth the salary that ECI is willing to pay. Its also not the best work environment.

A typical day at work always greet with a smile and be good about yourself. What I learn from my work is to always be ahead of my work and keep the boss up to date and management always stay in tuned of the work changes that may be unexpected. My co-workers with as "Team" and maintain good work ethics. My hardest part of the job never leave work unattended always stay on top of it, don't want to give the boss any surprises. My most enjoyable part of the job is being open minded and communication internally/externally.

When I first started the place was okay. Honestly, everything went downhill after COVID. I think the company is going to fail if they keep doing what they are doing. They laid off people who had worked there for 11 years due to the new VP. And lost many people who had worked there for 15-plus years. That says a lot in my opinion. No Pay increases and they have a broken management system. No support. Also, trying to take vacation days is an absolute nightmare almost to the point where you would rather not do it at all. 

They treat you really good.  everything else there has need of significant improvement.  plants and management have an adversarial relationship, constantly feuding rather than working together.  very strong us vs them mentality between CS and plants.  pay is embarrassingly low, this is a good place to get your foot in the door in supply chain but not really a place that you can stay unless you have two incomes.  no process, no process improvement and no real plan to fix the problems in the organization.  

I worked in the IT department. It was great working there, I had a boss that cared about me. The director of the department was really nice and approachable. My coworkers were fantastic, I really miss the place. It was a Monday through Friday job with competitive pay and opportunity to try new things and work on projects for the company that could have long range effects. If I could go back there I would.

I have worked at this company at their eligible branch for about eight years, and I’ve been doing the same job without moving up the corporate ladder.

They have already recently laid off 30 people, and when it comes to being rewarded for our hard work and sacrifice, we are given food instead of a pay raise, which would benefit us much more.

Despite All of this, there are some good people to work with there who know and understand where the employees are coming from

Overall a good place to work, has good benefits and a decent work life balance. Immediate supervisors are excellent,  its when u get to the top levels it gets sketchy. They have a plan that has been tried in the past and failed miserably so I don't have hope for any long term success of this company. 

Work can be overwhelming at times but the workload was fair to your station. Other workers can be cut-throats and management can be a bit overbearing. They will fire you if you are out more than a day even if it's an emergency or an accident. I was stranded in San Antonio after my vacation days slotted because of a vehicle breakdown.
