Pros

At first the company was everything I had dreamed of. Modern office spaces, free snacks & BEER!! It had an appearance of being a dream of a job. The "unlimited" PTO was also an amazing benefit offered.

Cons

The Customer Success team is treated like the scum of the company. They are looked down upon by other departments & a majority of the day to day workload is put on to them. The team is micromanaged & the only thing that matters is stats. 50% of the company was laid off back in March. They have started bringing people back, but no one for the Support team, even though call volume is 30% higher than what it was prior to the layoffs. There was not an annual pay increase. They criticize you for using the "unlimited" PTO. There is no longer 401k matching. The mood overall of lately is "Deal with it or leave".

This was a tough review to read, but thank you for sharing your perspective. I recognize that it is a difficult time for the Customer Success Team and we’re actively working to provide a better experience for you and your teammates. As the leader of this team, I want to acknowledge how much I and the entire Toast team appreciate your hard work and passion for helping our customers succeed. You have and always will be a crucial, meaningful and impactful part of the Toast team. We’ve unfortunately had to make some difficult, necessary and temporary changes to our benefits and merit cycle due to the ongoing pandemic, While certainly not a replacement, we hope you’ll find value in our recently announced summer hours and home office provision policies. I encourage you to continue to share your feedback, as it's crucial to help us understand how the changes we're making are impacting your experience. As always please feel free to set up time for further discussion with me, your manager or your PSP. -Emmanuelle Skala Sr. Vice President Customer Success

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.
