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

Zimmer is a company which makes products that help millions of people live without pain. Staff below the management level are genuinely great people who believe in the mission of the company. They share a great sense of Midwestern pride and Midwestern hospitality. The environment among peers is congenial.

Cons

The leadership and culture are from an era gone by - conservative and fear based. Executives rule from above with their assigned parking and peer down from locked Ivory Towers and corporate jets while expenses are continually cut from the company. Zimmer focuses its entire attention on VPs who run the company like the Wild West - disconnected and protecting 'their turf.' Chain and command is alive and well at Zimmer. Innovation is actively discouraged and those who fall in line are rewarded. Turnover is high and the best managers leave quickly. You most likely will work for a manager who is left behind and lacks coaching and people skills.
