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.
