Pros

Pension and Health care. Solid company. It will remain there well into the future.

Cons

Constantly put down. You are a number doing a number.. putting good workers with lads who don't care and are left to pick up the slack. Increasing output which puts pressure on staff but if they make a honest mistake , you are on your own.

A Hot Mess!

Pros

My immediate manager is incredible. The pay is very good for the area.

Cons

Little respect for manufacturing. Engineers now have desks on the floor between machines. Must wear safety glasses while staring at a computer screen. Loud, and impossible to concentrate or have a phone conversation. Everything is being outsourced. Little communication from the people calling the shots as to what the 'plan' is. Many long time, talented people fleeing. Not sure how this company plans on retaining talent like this. I can't imagine a young engineer fresh out of school with $50k in debt sticking around very long after he's shown his shiny new desk on the machine shop floor.

Business Outlook

Pros

- newly formed senior leadership team is a mix of Zimmer and Biomet. Good selections made. - growing market outlook - if you live in northern Indiana it is a great option for employment.

Cons

- focus on cutting benefits/salary to control costs troubling trend - senior leadership team still seems concerned with Dvorak's dictates vs doing what makes sense for the business - David's trusted circle of advisors is still small and legacy Z. Time to shake it up a bit.
