Pros

Good benefits package, office facility/environment is decent, there are some good people working at Zila, paid time off between Christmas and New Year's is a real bonus.

Cons

Culture really stinks! Zila's top leadership has created a culture that is caustic, controlling and fear-based. Don't even think about working here if you want to be creative or think outside the box. Extremely political for a smaller company, with lots of back-stabbing and co-workers talking negatively about others. This an extremely dysfunctional culture, where leadership encourages employees to "rat out" fellow employees as a way to maintain control. Senior leadership doesn't trust employees and there is little, if any, interest in professional development as a means to invest in employees. Senior management's primary motivational tool is fear. Stay clear of this company!

Pros

Most of the Zila team was a joy to work with. Products are above average and most are fairly priced in the market place..

Cons

Budget does not allow for much needed marketing support. Not enough staff to handle customer needs. Low morale. Soft Tissue Management program needs updating.
