Pros

I liked the atmosphere and people I worked with. As with most tech startups, it can border on cult-like behaviors but that seems to not be unique. They really seemed to care and put a lot of effort into their employees' development. Was a fun atmosphere.

Cons

Once you are on the sales track they make it clear that you can't move to another position in the company until you finish the program. Even if you discover your talents could be better suited for another role but you want to stay within the company you can't apply for a different role. Not sure if it was an actual rule but they definitely didn't encourage you to transfer to another department nor did they make it easy for people who did finish the sales program. I would have stayed if that was possible. Also pay was sub par.

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.
