Pros

- Pay level did not decrease as a result of the buyout unless I took a promotion. - I was not laid off as a result of the buyout.

Cons

- Promotion would have come with a pay cut. - Basic supplies such as paper towels and toilet paper were no longer supplied, neither for employees nor customers on-site. - Getting a raise was made to be basically impossible. - Zayo bought out another company shortly after, then transferred their support to us, told the new customers to call us, then told us about it a month later. - Zayo laid off half the people at the company immediately after the buyout without any plan of how to deal with the workload afterward. This caused many problems. They hired new staff slower than people were leaving. - No bonuses. - Healthcare options were more expensive and less extensive.

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.
