Cons

- Not the most desirable customers to work with/ often demanding/unresponsive/ or tempered - Pay is not competitive - Role is very demanding.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed so many aspects of your Toast experience. As for your role, I'm disappointed to hear that you felt the goals were unattainable. While our goals may be ambitious, they are designed to help us best serve our customers and the restaurant community as a whole. As we continue to scale and grow, we are also actively working to simplify our tools and processes to make it easier for our onboarding consultants to deliver for our customers. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors! - John Akalaonu, VP of Customer Onboarding

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.
