Nearly unlimited sales opportunities, great communication from top to bottom, and great compensation.

Pros

From a sales perspective, you couldn't ask for a better opportunity base. With all of Zayo's acquisitions, there is nearly an unlimited amount of opportunities for upgrades,renewals, and new services for existing customers. New opportunities for partnering with business not yet under the Zayo fold are pouring in daily, and Zayo equips you to build pretty much anything the customer wants, so long as it makes financial sense for the company. Compensation plan is great, and from what I can tell, every bit of effort is highly praised and fairly compensated.

Cons

Because the opportunities are so abundant, it is commonplace to put in 11-12 hour days just to keep up with requests from customers. In my experience, this is pretty standard for sales, but just be warned...anything outside of work will suffer.

Organized chaos but a bright future.

Pros

Zayo has a great buzz with not only very bright people but also a work hard can do attitude. A reliance on SalesForce is a double edged sword, but mostly positive; everything is in one cloud app but it does take some searching to find information. Love the embracing of social apps and remote / virtual offices - it makes the long hours more effective without sacrificing too much family time. Not a place for clock punchers.

Cons

Still ironing out some kinks in the processes, and ownership of tasks is sometimes an issue. There is a need to stay on top of things or it can quickly spiral out of hand. Compensation is fair, but only average. Equity position is good for some, not so good for others.
