Pros

Great people, exciting growth! Great to feel a part of something that is dynamic and growing. There is no waste at Zayo. Everyone has a fully quantifiable reason for working there, and management is very well in touch with this, and knows exactly what and how much any given person does for the company. I leave every day feeling like I've made a difference.

Cons

It's difficult to truly take a vacation or get away, and completely disconnect from your job to decompress. There is not enough redundancy in all roles throughout the company to always ensure a relaxed, uninterrupted holiday.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you feel like you are making a difference. I believe employees know when they are, and when they aren't -- especially is a well functioning company. When the majority feel this way, a company is on a path to be exceptional. I agree we need to turn the corner on better balancing work/life. Your example -- the ability to take a vaca/get away and disconnect -- is a good one.
