Growing company with so many rewarding opportunities for growth for those that embrace a willingness to work hard and get the job done. Fast paced environment and a fun place to work.

Cons

Zayo is a growing company with many opportunities and that leads to working many hours. Must be able to maintain work life balance and stay healthy in the process.

Thanks for the words of confidence. Given you identified yourself as Sales in Tulsa, I suspect you are part of the Premier Accounts team. Your Premier Accounts leader is doing a terrific job both in her management responsibilities and in developing a team that is producing great results.

Pros

From a sales perspective, you couldn't ask for a better opportunity base. With all of Zayo's acquisitions, there is nearly an unlimited amount of opportunities for upgrades,renewals, and new services for existing customers. New opportunities for partnering with business not yet under the Zayo fold are pouring in daily, and Zayo equips you to build pretty much anything the customer wants, so long as it makes financial sense for the company. Compensation plan is great, and from what I can tell, every bit of effort is highly praised and fairly compensated.

Cons

Because the opportunities are so abundant, it is commonplace to put in 11-12 hour days just to keep up with requests from customers. In my experience, this is pretty standard for sales, but just be warned...anything outside of work will suffer.
