Pros

I recently joined Zayo after a 20+ year career with MCI/WorldCom/Verizon. Zayo reminds me of my early days at MCI - exciting, energetic, and confident in our ability to change the landscape in telecommunications. Zayo is like the early MCI - hard working, and hard charging employees who are determined at making a difference. But Zayo is not for everyone. You need to be self-reliant, self-confident in your abilities, and willing to learn and put in long hours. You are in charge of your learning curve, you drive results, and you need to study and network with those who know how to get things done. That said I would highly recommend this company.

Cons

Total reliance on Sales Force Dot Com.- if you do not have experience with this cloud application your learning curve will be steep.

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.
