Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are grateful for dedicated Toasters like you. I am happy to hear you feel connected to our mission and purpose, but I would love to help you find better work/ life balance. As we discussed in our recent all-hands meeting, we are encouraging all employees to take advantage of our unlimited PTO and recharge this summer. If anything at work seems to be in the way of taking PTO, please reach out to me. Thank you for all of your hard work. - Hugh Scandrett, SVP of Engineering

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.
