Where You’ll Work
You’ll be part of our team at the Cher‑Make facility in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a welcoming lakeside community known for its scenic beauty, friendly atmosphere, and affordable cost of living. Manitowoc sits along the western shore of Lake Michigan, offering waterfront views, peaceful beaches, and outdoor activities like biking and walking along the Mariner’s Trail—one of the most scenic shoreline paths in the region.
Residents enjoy a strong sense of community with a vibrant mix of locally owned shops, restaurants, cultural venues, and historic attractions, including the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, which celebrates the city’s rich shipbuilding heritage. Manitowoc is also considered an affordable place to live, with a cost‑of‑living index significantly below the national average and a short average commute time of just 15 minutes—making work‑life balance easier to achieve.
Whether you’re relaxing by the lake, exploring the revitalized downtown, or enjoying the area’s parks, trails, and festivals, Manitowoc offers the charm of a smaller city with the amenities and culture you’d expect from a thriving lakeshore community.
