Pros

I love the following quote and feel it's fitting for those that have left negative comments. “If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door” ― Milton Berle If you choose to just sit back and wait for the knock, then Zayo is probably not the right fit for you. I have been around for 5+ years and change is evident. The opportunities to help drive change are endless. Zayo is looking for leaders, people who are willing to think out of the box, collaborate with others amongst the different groups not only to help the company grow but to improve our culture. If you're willing to step up and give it your all, you will be rewarded. The pay is competitive, quarterly bonus is the best that I've had in 20 years, the equity program is a great perk for those deserving, Management is always engaged and available to assist when needed, and the opportunities are endless. Promoting from within does happen; I know of at least a dozen employees who have been promoted over the last couple years.

Cons

Long Hours.......it just happens to be the nature of the beast and anyone who has chosen this career path should completely understand that it can sometimes get hectic at the end of the month, quarter, year or during any major storm event, but; working with a great team, like most of us do, definitely helps lessen the impact when you keep focus on the big picture.

Thanks for posting this review. I agree, as a culture, we need to get better and better at both (a) right-sizing the workload and (b) properly recognizing and rewarding contributions.

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.
