Pros

Liberal work from home policy

Cons

Exceptional staff are discouraged by small minded managers. Training is minimal and you are expected to just figure it out. Accounting is an after thought. Upper management has no idea what they are doing. Back stabbing is a way of life. Managers will not hire qualified staff because they are incompetent themselves.

Pros

Fast paced environment where you can gain many new skills. I would Only recommend that you accept a position here if you seek new skills and are not picky about the company overall. There can be opportunities to move around which is a pro. You will have to hit the ground running. You will likely not receive much training. The company is often described as "sink or swim." Stock bonus $ is nice but you have to be there for 15 months before you start seeing any of the $. Bonus will likely be less than is presented in the offer.

Cons

It is a negative culture. I was at the company full-time for 2 years. Overall it is not a culture where employees feel valued or supported by management of any level or co-workers. There were Many dissatisfied employees when I was there. Benefits are limited and pay and bonus are below average. You are not rewarded when you should be, for example when you switch teams and take on a new role (even if it is a lateral move) in my opinion you should be rewarded. Those are just a few of the problems with Zayo.
