Vantaggi
* Small company atmosphere * Executives know their markets well * Company is cash strong, little to no debt * High margin medical/dental/health products * Work/Life balance was good - best part of working here
Svantaggi
* Nepotism (lots of people in Versailles are related) * Not a lot of good employers in the area to compare to - so this mediocre company looks stellar locally. * The area is dying - this company has about 1400 employees (1000 locally) and is in the top 20 largest employers in the Dayton area. * High margin products (with scrutiny in medical costs and the consolidation in the medical field away from individual doctor offices, this too will end) * Frantically looking for a future revenue stream for when the high margin durable good they make are no longer their cash cow. 'Services' is the target. * Protectionism - the locals protect the locals. They all know that when a local loses their job they have at Midmark, there is very little chance they will find another one in the same field in the commutable area. * Job experience from Midmark is not liked by other local employers, they know about the bad management and the way it works there.
