Could Be Worse - Anonymous employee Zimmerman Associates Employee Review

To address your concerns: 1. Paying for the Holiday Party – there is no charge for employees to attend the holiday party. We charge a nominal fee ($20) for a guest. The cost to ZAI for each attendee is $85+ just for the facility and food; this does not include the cost of the many quality door prizes given away to employees. 2. While we would dispute your statement that we are paying you only 40% of what is billed to the government – there are many costs to running a company that are included in what we charge a client. Your health insurance; your vacation and sick leave earning; and the cost of corporate resources to manage the company, including the HR staff that recruited and hired you, the accounting staff who process your timecard and make sure you are paid on time, and the IT staff who maintain the corporate systems that enable all of this. 3. Room for growth is absolutely available at ZAI; we have openings posted on our website, and prefer to promote from within. Receiving kudos from a client is one way in which we see an employee is going above and beyond expectations to do a good job for our customers. This type of behavior is certainly worthy of reward and recognition. We would encourage you reach out to your manager or our HR department if there is a specific concern you have that is not being addressed. Our goal is to have a team of motivated, satisfied employees who appreciate the opportunity to support our government customers.
