Pros

nice people on the staff, the product is decent, and there is opportunity to make decent money

Cons

overworked, overworked, overworked. No work life balance, often no recognized boundaries from mgmt or customers, and you'll often get pulled in a million different directions.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, and for all of your hard work. Although I'm glad to hear there are aspects of Toast that you are enjoying, I'd like to dig into your concerns. I couldn't agree more on the importance of work/life balance, and I love to hear feedback from employees on how we can continue to improve in this space. I'd encourage you to put time on my calendar so that we can figure out how to best support you and the team. My (virtual) door is always open. -Joe Starzec, VP of Sales

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.
