Pros

Out of the box thinking is not only encouraged, but required. Great group of smart, talented and motivated professionals. For the past 15+ years there have been very few telecom companies as innovative as Zayo. Future at Zayo has more potential then most others in telecom.

Cons

Pressure is very high. Never a dull moment, which could also be a pro... Employees can get warn out quickly. Constant change/reorgs can be distracting. If you aren't willing to take initiative probably not the place for you. Tough getting away from work. You will work during PTO, but only to avoid getting too far behind, not a requirement.

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.
