I was asked to fix a project that my manager failed to resolve in over 1 year due to her lack of understanding of the project. Following that, one employee was fired over the project, another left over the project and yet another manager made a mess of the project. 2 employees refused to work on the project and the executive responsible took no responsibility for his complete negligence to put proper guidelines in place. As an auditor I would have had everyone of the managers involved fired.

Pros

Good pay but not worth the hours worked. Coworkers were pleasant but scared to even talk. Social slow death.

Cons

Management needs to stop skipping out on Fridays. There is no monitoring of management spending. Have never seen such wastefulness. No wonder expense management ideas wee squelched. They are afraid what they will find.

Zimmer Biomet Response

Zimmer is committed to paying employees for all time worked. We encourage any employee who believes he or she has not been paid all amounts earned to report the problem through any of the channels of reporting we offer (management, Human Resources, or our Alert Line) for resolution. Employees who make such reports in good faith are protected against retaliation.
