Pros

Most of the people who survive here are actually really nice and hard working smart indivuals. Great Boulder location, though highly expensive and wasteful in an environment without 401K match or annual raises. "In it together" attitude amongst employees.

Cons

-I am NOT surprised by the cluster of 4 and 5 star reviews. There is a big push from my management to post on Glassdoor (see responses on Glassdoor to understand how weird Zayo is). If you have constructive criticism on Glassdoor and have the guts to express it, be prepared for a rambling note from top management offering the bottom line answer: "you suck, you are not a good fit, you should just quit.". So tired of seeing or hearing "maybe you're not a fit for Zayo". I have invested my life in Zayo just as much as the CEO has invested his life. I'm sure he or whoever is writing for him will respond that his time and his life are much more valuable than mine, but I can assure you that my family does not think so. -All employees work hard and deserve our pay and equity. It's not a gift, quit acting like it is. -Lots of favoritism, flexibility and time off if you are associated with the BullPen or a "friend".

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.
