Hobart Food and Equipment Group (subsidiary of ITW)

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Parking is close by. Picnic tables. Near freeway ramp.

Cons

Lots of legacy everything including people, process, technology and management. Troy, OH is a one horse town and Hobart used to own everything and sponsor everything. It is now part of the rust belt of washed up 9 to fivers holding on by a thread. What a discouraging environment to be in if you are not from po-dunk, OH b/c they will not respect or understand you and question anything you try to change. Mary Beth Siddons and others were brought in for 2-3 year stints (managing remotely) with promise that the ITW mothership would bring them back to Chicago for a more cushy office job in the Northern Suburbs. One of the many small and poorly run businesses owned by conglomerate ITW they don't care to advertise.
