BEWARE: Financial / Management Issues

Director of marketing

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good products, revenue stream is decent. However, they are not making their projections.

Cons

Over the past five years Zimmer Dental has significantly lost market share because of poor management and late-to-market technologies. The Dental business as a whole has become a commodity. They have slid to the 5th or 6th largest player while at one time they used to be second. The competition introduced CAD/cam technology several years ago. Zimmer is struggling to get this off the ground. They outsource their regenerative medicine products which have faced safety recall issues, launch delays and backorder problems. Financial decisions are made from the parent company out of Warsaw Indiana which means the dental division does not have the ability to hire and back fill open positions. They work on limited budgets and resources. They are trying to reorganize but at present it appears to be imploding.

Pros

Awesome views, campus, and people that are not Senior Level Management.

Cons

Once again mid level management is treated as if they are of no value. Lead the teams of worker bees but slam us on performance. When in reality sales are strong, on time delivery is in the high 90th percentile, and Op Com is getting their bonuses and money.

An MNC that is far from global in mindset

Business Outlook

Pros

Manages to hire good competent people but who unfortunately don't stay long. Has good products and product legacy. Attempts to have some on boarding training for new hires.

Cons

Micromanaging senior management who are more tactical than strategic. All decisions made based on short term profits gains with low priority on long term growth. Risk adverse and highly bureaucratic culture. High employee turnover as new hires get demotivated very quickly by convoluted internal processes and excessive red tape.
