Pros

as a former Biomet employee it was a much better work environment. you could do your job and get results. a fairly good place to work beside all the behind the favoritism between managers and some employees. Zimmer not been there long enough to see any pros

Cons

Cons there are a few they treat the ones who do all the real work like second class people. they run a dictator ship style of management it is my way or the highway. the order picking system is a total waste of manpower and not efficient at all. too much red tap to do the simplest thing . If you recall that no one will loose there job that was a pile. I have already seen Biomet reps let go as well as some long term employees. like some other comments on the Zimmer company review the bottom line is all that matters. Zimmer Biomet is stuck in the 1960 style of management. time to wake up

Pros

You can get away with any behavior or language you choose to use; no repercussions at all.

Cons

Zimmer Biomet will work you into the ground and then still request more of your time. Driver usually work 10 - 12+ hours a day. You are also expected to be on-call once a month from Monday to Sunday. That means you get to work your weekend away, work overnight and early AM. You get to work 12 days straight with no break. They very rarely give raises or promotions. This company would rather hire a new person at a lower rate then to keep an employee and actually pay them. Work-life balance is non-existent. You will ultimately spend most of your time at work. You get 15 day PTO and sick time combined. You can request for time off but if you get paid for those days is another question. This company cares about profit over people. They make billions a year in profit but "doesn't have the money" to treat their employees well.
