Pros

Ability to work from home was a pro, apparently that's no longer allowed.

Cons

I joined Allstream two weeks before it was acquired by Zayo. In their rush to save money by shutting down systems and trying to run an enterprise on Salesforce (where it becomes Salesfarce) they threw away data they were legally bound to keep for 7 years. I was kept on, despite my salary being over double what they generally pay Salesforce developers, because they had commitments to the Government to produce specific, custom software. The moment that software was completed I was let go. Ironically, 3 months after being laid off I received a performance bonus for my work.

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.
