      Pros

      Flexible working hours, ability to be creative in solutions for customers

      Cons

      Company organization in constant state of change for no compelling reason. Just when something starts to make sense it is changed to create more complexity. Nothing is ever streamlined, and therefore the company is constantly becoming more difficult to figure out who does what. Compensation package changes approximately every quarter, and is always getting worse for people below VP level.

      Worked at Zayo for over 2 years - Stressful

      Pros

      Very flexible for working from in office or at home. Entrepreneurial environment in that you are given end goals to accomplish and not a set way or schedule to get there, as well as your ideas to create better processes will be taken seriously. This environment isn't for everyone as it can be seen as no training and chaotic to some people. I learned a lot during my time at Zayo.

      Cons

      Very stressful. Pay is below competitors and industry average while living cost is very expensive in Boulder and Denver. Work/life balance is overwhelming. (65 hours a week) Raises are extremely rare across the board. PTO is available, but is a significant hardship to use because 1 PTO day = 9-12 hours of extra work waiting when you get back. My experience with compensation was being told I need to do A, B and C in order to get a raise. Accomplished that, but was then told I also need to do D, E and F. Accomplished that, then was approved for a raise by my manager and also by her manager, but not approved by upper management. Reasoning I was given was that you definitely deserve a raise, but it's just not a good time. This seems to be a very common story at Zayo.
