      Kid's at the helm, MBA's calling the shots

      Pros

      They buy a lot of companies and do it quickly with a ton of cash on hand and the lawyers to make it happen so fast the employees never know whats going on.

      Cons

      They do a poor to horrible job integrating the employees and clients they acquire. Management at Zayo will tell new acquisitions to lie or keep quite when Dan tours the company. New employes who have been bought by Zayo are given little to no assistance in learning the "Zayo Way" and when you ask questions many times you are scoffed at for doing so.

      Hmmmm.. I'm sorry to hear of your experiences. Zayo does move expeditiously with integrating acquisitions. We make decisions that sometimes leave employees of acquired companies uncomfortable. Mistakes are made. However, our approach in aggregate has yielded exceptional results -- with customers, with investors and with employees. To view us as having "kids at the helm" reflects a complete lack of understanding of how Zayo works. I hope you do well in your new endeavor.

      Pros

      The team I work with. Spectacular individuals!!!

      Cons

      Were do I start? I have been here for 6 years and have seen a huge downfall in this company! We used to get awesome bonus's and time at home with our family's. Fast forward to present day everything has gotten bad! We get maybe $150 in bonus not were it used to be $1000, but we do get RSU's but you get them in 15 months as long as you dont get fired or quit. Family life is a thing of the past at ZAYO. I myself work 60 to 70 ours a week. I'm on call once a month and they will wake you at all times of the night to make you drive 70 miles 1 way for nothing. Now we are told we cant take time off at the end of the month and that its a must to work into the night and over the weekend to make end of month goals that we are never going to reach. Everyone is quick to escalate on everyone which makes no since at all. No one is happy here anymore. Ive seen this place tear apart marriages because of all the working at night and the weekends.

      Pros

      I have not seen any that I could see

      Cons

      A company heading a million directions and none of them good. Compensation is confusing and not rewarding you for your sales success. I think it is meant to be that way so you have no idea if you are getting cheated.
