Pros

When I was hired in 2019 opportunity to advance was readily available, culture was great, fun, and involved. Felt valued as an employee and people were always willing to help!

Cons

After Covid, and the mass layoff, (I was not laid off), things drastically changed. I had was on medical leave due to Covid, and when I came back, my manager was almost afraid or unwilling to meet with me to catch me up on the changes. I was then written up, because I was never propoerly explained or trained on new processes and expected to catch up 3 months of work/updates in 2 weeks. There should have been a process (verbal, written, etc,,,) but was sent strait to final written warning... I actually cared about the customers, so I wanted to accurately resolve my cases. Finding help or assistance from other teams or team members was impossible as you would always get a run around answer then a team would say this issue was no longer their department, so I ran around in circles as much as they make their customers do.

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.
