Pros

Great Products. At least there is a qualified person at the helm, trying to give the board some good info on how to run a company before "number one" runs it into the ground.

Cons

No Career path. Extraordinarily poor management. They don't listen, and nothing ever changes. Robbing peter to pay paul is not sustainable long term, and definitely not a business strategy. Although our new leader is trying to rectify years and years of mismanagement, it could be too little too late.. Its been bad for 5+ years and it keeps getting worse. Inventory system is terrible....you need what you need, when you need it....end of story! Morale is bad and most people are not happy. Culture: Corporate middle management, distributors and their management chew up substantial amounts of revenue when reinvestment in the business is slim to none. They pay the bill at restaurants(if they can't figure out how to pawn it off on the sales force attending the dinner), fly around all over the place to do nothing at meetings, and never have an answer to any question one could ask related to the core business. However, there is not enough inventory and the people that could answer questions no longer work for Zimmer. When Average selling price is going down year after year, failing to adapt is still failure. We work twice as hard for less and the distributor/company keeps more.

Zimmer culture destroys teamwork and employee morale

Pros

They pay you. That's all I can think of.

Cons

There is no leadership and they pit employees against each other. You can't trust your manager or your coworker. Prior to the David Dvorak years Zimmer was an OK place to work. Since 2007, it has been very bad with very low morale.

Pros

Pay is very competitive. Our job is helping improve peoples' lives which is a good motivator. Warsaw is a good small town that is close to Fort Wayne or South Bend. Good bonus structure.

Cons

Much reorganizing, many good employees- some of the best talent I have ever worked with have been walked out-engineers, purchasing, supervision. Huge de-motivator for those of us left. Big question has been WHO'S NEXT?
