Pros

There are no pros to working at Zayo, with the exception of meeting a few people nice people.

Cons

Avoid working at Zayo if you can. This company was an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE to work for. The company made it obvious every chance they got that they did not care about their employees. No raise for two years after they acquired the company I used to work for. Complete disorganization from the top down. Outsourced many jobs, which only made the already stressed and overworked employees more stressed and overworked. An executive leader once said on a company call something to the effect of "working at Zayo sucks sometimes. But it sucks less than other places." If this is your mark you're trying to hit, no wonder your company is an absolute dumpster fire. The pay structure is awful. Base compensation is below market average with the promise of "bigger bonuses" that turn out to be a joke.

Pros

It’s a paycheck. Great network.

Cons

Arrogant, egotistical, conniving to cheat employees management. There are SO MANY talented people at this company (although declining). 04/01/2020 will be their exit. What will be left are sycophantic idiots that don’t know a thing about telecom or customer service or innovation or treating employees and customers with respect.
