Pros

The people at Toast are great! Not a bad apple in the bunch! It was fun interacting with them on a daily basis.

Cons

The work is VERY stressful, especially in Support. There was a LOT of turnover. Also, there didn't seem to be an interest from management to make a better product. Rather, the focus seemed to be on "going public," which means making a product just good enough to sell, but not spending a lot of effort making it better. Sales were more important.

Pros

The benefits and health insurance are amazing and the company culture as a whole is very positive. It was a pleasure to work with almost everyone I met in my time there.

Cons

Lower management, especially for care teams, deeply lacks integrity. Retaliatory practices, lack of communication, and failure to adhere to their own policies are very common behavior depending on who your manager is. The inconsistencies across what is expected from leadership are profound and it is disappointing how much this can derail your career trajectory at Toast. It’s also very difficult to help customers at times, as Toast is notorious for launching new products at customers and providing little to no support to agents that are then expected to troubleshoot using sparse or nonexistent resources and absolutely no training. Cross-collaboration with teams that occasionally intersect is also very challenging, particularly Sales/Onboarding and Care. There were many instances where sales and onboarding specialists set customers up with false expectations of the product, which leaves care teams to deal with the aftermath.
