Very Hectic, Chaotic

Pros

If you continue to move around in every department, I guess you learn a lot?

Cons

Organization changes nonstop. You get a new manager every 4 months. The paid isn't very nice, the holidays are way below the standard.

You didn't provide much substance behind your post, so I wasn't able to understand much about your frustrations. You say you've been with us less than a year, and evidently you've been bounced around a lot. I see your concerns about your pay and your holidays. We try to match compensation to contribution -- sometimes it takes a while for a new person to demonstrate their ability to contribute. Our priority at Zayo has been to build a company that will thrive for years and decades. In our rapidly consolidating industry, this meant we had to work hard over the past several years to acquire the assets (employees/fiber/customers) to thrive and a business model that will survive the test of time. Though we have work to do, I have confidence that our team is developing a culture and work environment that is special for the vast majority.

Pros

Flexibility to work remotely, hard working and eager employee base. Upper management is really listening to constructive criticism I think. You also have a huge amount of potential for upward mobility if you work hard and are aggressive.

Cons

Work-life balance, lack of well developed processes at this point (this is improving daily)

Thanks for post. I agree with pros and cons, and am glad to hear you see the processes improving daily. The ability to talk openly and passionately about how we need to evolve to reach our full potential is key to our long term aspirations.
