Absolutely the worst place I've ever worked. Zero integrity, zero morale, and zero concern for the customers. - Manager Zayo Employee Review

Pros

Do you like drama? Have very little family/social life? Enjoy loooooong stretches of 4+ years of 70-80 hour weeks with nary as much as a 2% COL increase?

Cons

This place is wonderful, if you don't mind sexism, mysogeny, violations of FMLA / FLSA / OSHA, threats from Sr. Mgmt, being forced to ballot-stuff glassdoor reviews every few weeks so management can sucker a few more college kids into slaving away for beans. OT? Zayo would rather wait till you get home, insist you jump on a conference bridge, then not pay you for any of it. They consider not paying nonexempt employees deserved OT to be a "service to the shareholders". I saw the Director of the NCC roll into the NOC and proudly call out "where are the white women?!?". When a formal complaint was filed, guess who had all his direct reports taken away, had his schedule immediately changed to graveyard, and found himself doing secretarial work? If you guessed "the director", you guessed wrong. IT WAS THE MANAGER OF THE YOUNG LADY WHO FILED THE COMPLAINT!!!! Shady organization that maintains power by lying, backbiting, threatening, and promoting a culture of fear of saying ANYTHING, lest you get fired, sued, or both. They have even pretended some employees never worked there, or held lower positions, when asked by interviewing managers at other companies. If you have a problem with your employer laughing about FLSA laws, firing people on FMLA leave, or crapping on sexual harassment statutes...well, you're just not "Zayo Material", right Dan?

Although not the best forum for a discussion of legal claims or potential legal claims, it is important to state that we strongly disagree with the poster's allegations. Zayo takes very seriously its commitments to employees as well as it legal and regulatory obligations. To the extent that a claim is raised, Zayo promptly and thoroughly investigates such claims and takes remedial action, if appropriate under our policies and based upon the circumstances. The allegations contained in this post appear to be mostly identical to allegations previously raised by a particular individual within Zayo, and these allegations were thoroughly investigated and resolved. We will continue to comply with all employment laws and regulations and take aggressive actions to ensure we have a safe, fair and compliant workplace

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.
