We have wanted to move there ever since, and currently have the motivation to really commit to looking and determining how we can make this happen.

We have narrowed down our choices to Florence and Greenville. I am familiar with some of the larger companies in Florence, but have been unable to find anything on some of the big businesses in Greenville. Can anyone name a few that may be of interest? I worked for a pharmaceutical company in the past, and now work as a Product Manager in the Marketing Dept. of a medical device company. I don't know if that helps - but I would be looking for something similar, as far as sales or marketing is concerned.

It is my understanding that Florence has:

Roche Carolina
Smurfit Stone Container
QVC (Distribution Center)
Honda
McLeod Regional Health
GE/Healthcare
ESAB
Sunoco

A similar breakdown of some of what Greenville has to offer would be wonderful!

Any thoughts on Greenville vs. Florence?

Thank you so much everyone!

I work for GE Healthcare here in south FL and its not hard to get a job with GE, but it really helps if your have a current GE employee send your resume to the hiring manager of the job you are wanting to apply for (know as an employee referral) through the GE COS (Career Opportunity System).
