Business Outlook
Pros
Sole company of its kind -- world class US glass manufacturer. Polite culture. General strong sense of community. R&D driven. Business strategy is key to decision making. Low costs of living; a dollar goes very far in this part of the country.
Cons
Rural and in middle of cold nowhere. Hard to move up or move out; no area competition for high-skilled talent, so this lowers personal mobility, wage levels, as the location shifts power dynamics in favor of company vs employee interests. Layoffs mean you relocate out, generally. Company can feel insular. Weak, over-egalitarian bonus compensation structure.
