Pros

Very few pros. Some good people working there, they deserve a lot better.

Cons

The worst company in terms of how they treat the "employees", if you can even get that status. Company tried to circumvent Quebec and Canadian laws with contract work. When the trouble came from Revenue Canada and Revenue Quebec, managers who took that course decided it was easier to use employees as scapegoats, rather than take responsibility for their poor decisions. This same cabal of toxic managers are using intimidation, manipulation and playing favorites to hide their incompetence. When one former contract employee tried to complain to HR about an aggressive manager, the unqualified HR rep took the complaint and promptly gave it to the person the complaint was about. Just let that sink in for a moment. Needless to say the contract employee was shown the door, with no rights or recourse due to being a contract employee. (Another way these contracts went around the protections and laws in place in Canada) The overall effect is a talent drain that ends up pushing away the most competent people, as they quickly realize they can find better. You aren't left with much once your best and brightest leave, as you can imagine. Stay away, unless you're willing to deal with narcissistic corporate psychopaths for managers, who play favorites, use intimidation and manipulation to get what they want in the most dishonest way.

Pros

The ONLY pros here; Benefits and salary

Cons

MANY broken promises (make sure you have EVERYTHING in writing, to the point of even writing your work hours in your contract), extreme poor management (if any), no appreciation for the value you bring to the team and absolutely zero room to move up even when you're told there is. This company works off dictatorship only; If there's any kind of issue whatsoever in your work environment - make sure not to say a thing to management because they couldn't care less and they will twist it to reprimand you for whatever it is. This company doesn't take ownership for it's own mistakes and they'd rather ignore any issues going on. I made the mistake of leaving a great job for this one. They will say anything they can to get you on their team, and once you join, you're dust to them.

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
