Pros

Zayo is a fast paced company that has ample opportunity to grow. They are aggressive in sales and product development- a real "think outside the box" type of company when it comes to building the right solution. Everyone is very willing to help and answer at any time of the day. Zayo has solid financial support and pays their people well.

Cons

The Zayo culture is one of get it done no matter what the work loads requires. This can be overwhelming and exhausting at times. The vacation is accrued, so if you leave an existing job with ample vacation, it's difficult to manager time off for the first 3-6 months. Often efforts receive little thanks. Travel expenses are expected to be paid by the employee up front and them paid on the following scheduled expense report payout, which can be two weeks out.

Pros

Excellent sales enablement, tools, and internal support. Leadership has done a good job creating an environment where Enterprise Account Executives can focus on selling instead of getting bogged down by administrative tasks. CRM data is clean, processes are organized, and responsibilities between Sales, Customer Success, and Account Management are clearly defined. It’s refreshing to work for a company that invests in the systems and structure needed to help its sales teams succeed.

Cons

Ongoing integration efforts following the Crown Castle Fiber acquisition mean some processes and systems are still evolving. As with most enterprise sales roles, building pipeline requires significant self-sourcing and prospecting across a large territory. The product portfolio is extensive, which creates a bit of a learning curve for new hires but also provides opportunities to solve complex customer challenges.
