Pros

The people you work with are great and so are most of management.

Cons

Your job is on the line every year at review time, if you make it past the constant “restructuring”. Every year you're compared to others in your salary range not just your peers. If you don't fall in the bottom 5% you are safe unless you make too much money or have been there more than 7 years.

Pros

Good pay, working with doctors can be fun.

Cons

Zimmer is still stuck in a distributor model, which other industries of medical sales seem to have moved away from. Kind of like the wild west, treated terribly by higher level reps (in my situation), and very VERY little support from the distributor when things would go wrong with his team. Overall a terrible, untenable situation.

Business Outlook

Pros

The departments that are rewarded are development, research and HR. These department leaders know they have the support of the higher ups and can command the raises and promotions. If you're able to answer questions by being evasive and by using double talk; they'll like you at Zimmer.

Cons

Latest buzz word is innovation. The word is an oxymoron at Zimmer. If you don't conform, you're not going anywhere. Delaying hiring decisions and passing on the extra work to whose left is what they practice because the leaders think there's an unlimited supply of dolts who are dying to work for Zimmer.
