Pros

Product is really good and really is an industry leader Training and support are good and so are the people you work with Severance package was decent Fun and relaxed culture

Cons

Was not "the opportunity of a lifetime"..Did not hold true to their promises of promotions and were not truthful in what it takes to get to the promotions and bonuses The lack of experience and leadership in sales became very evident when the COVID disaster started to appear You start with a very low base-pay and no commission Spent money wildly on yearly kick-off only to come up short when things hit the fan

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.
