Business outlook
Pros
9-5 job with 9-5 mentality. Office is a ghost town by 5:30pm. Hobart is the market leader but quickly losing share. Complacency is acceptable. Sometimes they even sell ground beef from the test labs in 5 lb. blocks.
Cons
There are many future pensioners that are extremely protectionist. New thinking is discouraged. Idealists, social entreprise leaders and recent graduates do NOT FIT in here. Hobart is weak in the global marketplace and has failed to adapt product line to emerging markets. They have been banking on their market leadership to take them through the next decade. Troy is not a place to attract an educated talent pool interested in diving into international competition.
