Zimmer Biomet

I've been working for this company for about 4.5 years and I can only think of all the good things that happened to me and still happening. My typical work day starts at 8am and ends at 5pm unless now during summer hours, starts at 7am and ends at 5pm. Best part I like being here is amount of work we have to get done which is loads and loads which in turn helps with the job security and the BEST part of this company is benefits. I don't think any other company in at least 250 mile range offers benefits like Zimmer Biomet does. 

I must have to say one thing about management who is so encouraging and supportive and want you to succeed in every step you make and every decision you make. They're very well focused on lean when it comes to procedures and training and always make sure every resource is getting what they need to get the job done. Workplace culture is the other big thing after merging with Biomet. as the famous quote goes, "Rome was not built in one day". It takes time to embrace the changes & differences, but things are definitely improving and I can already see some light in the tunnel, we're getting close. 

The hardest part of the job is the work load we currently have and again this it the most enjoyable part since you get to meet and work with a lot of energetic and result driven team members who continues to help you through the hurdles and make you a valuable resource to the organization and in turn developing you professionally on a global platform.

A typical day involved getting your assigned cases for the day and filling orders for the hospital surgeries, answering the phone and helping sales reps if they have a problem, checking implants that were used back in, and billing the hospital for implants that were used. Above all making sure that there are absolutely no errors in the cases. Management was very supportive and hands on if things were moving too quickly, then they would jump in and lend a hand, they were always there if you had a question and never made you feel stupid for asking. The most enjoyable part was knowing that what you were doing really benefited peoples' lives. They may not ever know your name, but you had the satisfaction of knowing that you just made it possible for someone to go for a walk in the sun, you made it easier for them to play with their kids or grand-kids.

As much as I wanted to enjoy my experience at this office, it ended up being an experience I would not recommend to those looking for a balanced supportive team. 

Management is 50/50, some being outgoing and prioritizing team building and group success, while others are self serving and ignore staff in need of support. Long term employees are ignored for growth opportunities. Lots of employee turnover caused a lack of stability. The fast paced nature of the position with lack of proper training and overwhelming intensity is a recipe for burn out. 

Favouritism is obvious and personal problems are brought up regularly in a professional environment. Would not recommend.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Hybrid work and vacation packages. Flexibility with life situation 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Horrible management micromanagement. Unrealistic work demand and in inefficient house ERP systems used for day to day processes. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fake support. Competitive with limited position available. Take advantage of contract workers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The products are quite cool, some co-workers are really great to work with. Others, not so much 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Highly regulated industry, it adds a lot of mental strain on day to day work. The management is also not very competent, very disorganized phases of product development, followed by a long era of testing.

Great place to start your career. Interesting projects and a good location. You need to be part of the right team to really enjoy and avoid micromanagement. Too many young and untrained incompetent team leaders

Worked in manufacturing packaging cell supported manufacturing  processes of medical implants. It was great to work with the products and processes. People are great, they teach and share their knowledge. 

Training lacking. Expected to perform tasks that you have never done before then kick you out the door when you make a mistake. A lot of people are unhappy there and looking for new jobs. Night supervisors are awful. Staff on the floor are amazing though. 



A typical day starts off productive, meetings to see where things are headed and what has been completed. During these meetings, tasks are assigned to different teams and those tasks are what you will be working on for the remainder of the day. great workplace culture, nothing bad to say about Zimmer Biomet.

Multiple requests from Sales Representatives, Distributors, Customers and C-workers.
Learned several computer programs including, Excel, Microsoft word and Outlook.  
Most enjoyable part of my job was the diverse daily tasks.  Everyday brought a new challenge.
