Pros

Large Orthopedic company Large product portfolio Research and Data evidence to support product Hard working reps Orthopedics is a fun business to be in, with a lot of rewarding days. Feeling of satisfaction when you are a part of tough revision surgeries and seeing good patient outcomes.

Cons

ZB is concerned with the bottom line and how lean they can run so that their stock looks good. Which is obviously something that any big publicly traded company needs to worry about. However what they forget is the lives of the people working for them and the doctors and patients who are effected by backorders and "voluntarily recalls". ZB doesn't listen to the field, and doesn't keep the best interest of their employees and distributors in mind.
