Pros

Zayo lends itself as an excellent stepping stone for young professionals looking to gain experience, however see below for the risks you face if you stay longer than 1.5 years

Cons

Zayo will reward your experience with more work and no pay increase. Your days will soon become so hectic, that you are fearful to eat your lunch anywhere beside your desk, or not check your email first thing saturday and sunday morning, afternoon, and night. You will be persuaded to stay with more RSU's that will be left on the table when you inevitably quit this hectic work environment. Do not take the bait. Working weekends is expected and not thought of as going the extra mile. What was once an entrepreneurial work environment with large success has shifted to what is now known as Level 3 - 2.0. 50 hour weeks turn to 60 which turn to 70 which turn to 80, and if you agree to the work, it will soon be expected as the norm with no "thank you" or, like a normal company, a pay increase. Zayo will chew you up and spit you out, avoid working here at all costs. If I could rate the C&B section below negative, I would, it is truly pathetic.

Pros

Excellent sales enablement, tools, and internal support. Leadership has done a good job creating an environment where Enterprise Account Executives can focus on selling instead of getting bogged down by administrative tasks. CRM data is clean, processes are organized, and responsibilities between Sales, Customer Success, and Account Management are clearly defined. It’s refreshing to work for a company that invests in the systems and structure needed to help its sales teams succeed.

Cons

Ongoing integration efforts following the Crown Castle Fiber acquisition mean some processes and systems are still evolving. As with most enterprise sales roles, building pipeline requires significant self-sourcing and prospecting across a large territory. The product portfolio is extensive, which creates a bit of a learning curve for new hires but also provides opportunities to solve complex customer challenges.
