Pros

Culture is great, everyone is young and eager.

Cons

High growth comes with a lot of growing pains. Feels like management can’t make up their minds on where to improve the business. Everyone works all the time, feels like you can never get away or take time to de-stress.

Thank you for sharing! I can certainly empathize with some of the growing pains. I'm working closely with the leadership team to continue making improvements on this front. Hopefully the most recent announcements about the wellness stipend, sabbatical, and 401K match are signs of positive change. We are deeply invested in making Toast a great place to work, and I promise that there is more to come in 2019. - Jackie Steele, Sr. Director, People & Culture

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.
