Pros

Having worked for a number of Telecommunications company over the past 18 years I think I can honestly say that Zayo are far and away the hardest working company out of the lot and that goes from the highest of the high to the lowest of the low. Through changes and an ever moving end point the business has been able to remain focussed and to stay true to its core beliefs, Work Hard - Play Hard. This is not a company for everyone, if your afraid of hard work, need to be guided at every turn or want a pat on the back every time you do well then its not the place for you. However if you like a challenge, want to work in in an environment with other hard working people and truly believe that what we are trying to achieve does break the telecoms mould then your in the right place.

Cons

The "work life balance" is always an issue but your not going to get on in this world by sitting on your backside watching the world go by, but sometimes it would be nice to catch your breath.

Thanks for the post. I agree with all your observations. You are right. We need to be better at reflecting on what we've accomplished together. We need to celebrate our progress and acknowledge one another's contributions. We are building a company that is doing something special -- and that will continue being special for years and decades to come.

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.
