Pros

The benefits are very good compared to other places I have worked, but thats literally the best part, the rest of the company says they care about your well being, work/life balance, etc, but do not show it, specifically in the network operations center.

Cons

Lets see where to start, getting yelled at and disrespected on a regular basis from management-not privately, but out in the open, in front of everyone, being micromanaged, horrible training, they just throw you in the shark tank and expect you to swim without showing you correctly how to do everything. The place is is a hostile work environment lawsuit waiting to happen, not from the employees, but from management.

It is my expectation that all members of our management team are leaders and professional. When feedback and coaching is necessary, it should take place privately. If an employee isn’t able to resolve issues with their supervisor, I encourage them to escalate these issues privately. As the leader of the award-winning Network Control Center (NCC), I have an open door policy and am available to every employee to discuss an issue in confidence and work toward a constructive solution. The same is true for our People Operations partners, one of which is full time at the NCC and the others all always accessible via Chatter, phone or email. I’d suggest these are reasonable steps to take to solve an issue before making inflammatory accusations about the competence and integrity of all Zayo management and suggesting that we don’t care. We do. When employees raise issues, as you have, we also expect that they initiate and support solutions. For example, NCC employees have raised issues about the need for onboarding and training, and are now actively involved in its design and rollout. In terms of the work-life balance issues you raise, the NCC continues to invest in automation, which will enable our teams to work efficiently and across fewer systems – and provide more responsive service to customers. It seems like the environment at Zayo, which does require flexibility and initiative, may not be the right fit for you. If that’s the case, I wish you the best of luck with your next company.

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.
