Pros

Used to be one of the best companies

Cons

-Below market average base salary -Unrealistic expectations put on employees (unless you want to eat breathe sleep Toast) -Heavily political with who gets rewarded and recognized -Managers who are too young with zero management experience are running teams with aggressive micro-management tactics. This has eliminated the possibility for career growth individually and fed this mindset that employees are never doing good enough. Truly a toxic setup. -Lack of respect for their employees

This review was really tough to read, but I fully appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback .We’ve built our culture and values around the themes of empathy, collaboration, hospitality and inclusivity and I’m disappointed that your experience did not reflect these values. We’re far from perfect but have been working hard to improve upon many of the areas that you mentioned in your review, particularly work-life integration and manager development. I’m proud of the progress that we’ve made, but I know we still have work to do. Our recent layoff was incredibly difficult and impacted many talented toasters. Operating through this type of change is hard and supporting our employees remains a top priority. I can see from the details of your review that you’re no longer at Toast, but as always, I welcome the opportunity for additional conversation, so please feel free to set up time with me. Thanks again for your feedback.- Jonathan Vassil, SVP/GM SMB

Pros

-it can be flexible just depending on who your manager is -well developed tams can be self sustaining and bring you to quota every month -nice perks like monthly stipends

Cons

-onboarding can be awful if you don't have the right person on your team -so many sales trainings and they don't always make sense
