Company is outsourcing
IT personnel (Former Employee), Warsaw, IN – April 9, 2013
Pros: pay
Cons: no work/life balance. hostile work enviornment
The company is outsourcing workers and keeping the management that has caused the issues. If you are outsourced you are treated as a number and not a person. I had 10 years at Zimmer with an exemplarly record and was treated unfairly. Avoid this company. People are now treated like cattle.

A great place to work if you can get in full time.
Utility Worker (Former Employee), Warsaw, IN – November 10, 2012
Pros: working by myself.
Cons: the new supervisor that was brought in.
A day at work included cleaning offices and two sets of restrooms. The management for the most part was very pleasant, except for my new manager which was for the most part why I chose to look for other opportunities.

I learned a lot at Zimmer when it comes to all aspects of Machining.
CNC Machinist (Current Employee), Warsaw, IN – July 20, 2012
Pros: challenging, very rewarding knowing the parts you make are going to help someones life.
Cons: poor communication
I am currently running 2 mills and 2 lathes with 1.5 hour to 7.5 hour cycle times. The hardest part of my job is communication on the production floor between shifts. Not a lot of communication amongst operators. I like being able to go in to work every day knowing that i will have new challenges and learning opportunities.

Its alight
Production Machinist (Former Employee), Warsaw – February 28, 2012
Pros: pay, most good people, little perks here and there
Cons: benifits going down hill, rules, companys direction
Great employees to work with that is excluding 3 shift. The management I was under was terrific, I can't speak for other parts. I know they are controlled by the FDA but if they're rules arent meet almost to the T there's little forgiveness and they will discipline. When I started pay and benefits were awesome and that's what Zimmer was known for, that's – more... how they attract new hires. But every year for the last ten years they take just a little away just enough to not really complain about. But add it all up and you'll see where they're headed. If you start out as a Kelley employee it use to take 6 months but now it's going on about 2 years. In the last 5 years they have opened facilities in Ireland and china, which the china plant is the fastest growing and voted best employer in china, no joke. So if your just interested in just the pay this is a place for you, but good luck! – less

treats employees very poorly, poor management
machinist (Current Employee), warsaw,in – January 25, 2012
Pros: pay
Cons: youre just one of many, can be replaced at any minute for no reason.
if you enjoy being treated like you dont make a diffence and talked to like a dog then this is a company for you. they are currently moving jobs overseas and fire good hard working people with 30yrs+ experence to replace them with 10$ per hr temps then lay off the temp.
