Pros

It used to be a nice place to work. The compensation is average.

Cons

Zayo offers a lot of things that seem very appealing to job seekers. They have social events, resource groups, and learning sessions. Do not be fooled by this. You will never have time to attend those. Every department at Zayo is run so lean that every employee is expected to do the work of two or three people. It will be non-stop emergencies from the time you clock in until the time you clock out. Look at any "people and culture" event hosted by Zayo and you will see that hardly anyone is attending. If you attend, you will be producing less than your peers. Your output will suffer and you will be seen as a less productive employee. This is why no one goes. It is impossible to participate in these events and still get the amount of work done that is demanded of you. It is a systemic issue because Zayo is determined to get more work from fewer people. If you are looking for the most stressful, thankless job you've ever had in your life, Zayo has amazing opportunities for you.

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.
