Pros

Toast is a great company with good benefits, and looks good on your resume.

Cons

Extremely political environment. Management will work you to the bone and push you to overperform no matter what. Pay is bad for the amount of work, hours, and stress.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. Since you are a current employee, I am optimistic that we can use this review as an opportunity to connect and improve your experience at Toast. The concerns you mentioned regarding compensation is something we are working on. I hope the recent conversations during our all-hands meetings have been helpful in understanding our compensation and total rewards philosophy. This is an ongoing conversation, and I hope that you will continue to be a part of it by providing feedback along the way. We deeply value our employees and want to make sure our total rewards program is reflective of that. In regards to your other concerns, I urge you to reach out to me or your PSP to discuss further. I recognize that many Toasters have been working extra hard over the past few months as we adapt to the repercussions of COVID-19, but we are determined to return to a healthy work-life balance. We are here to support you however we can. - Jonathan Vassil, SVP/ GM, SMB

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.
