Stressed to the max. Monthly quotas, very cut throat. - Senior Account Executive Toast Inc Employee Review

Pros

You do well, you get paid well.

Cons

The stress and pressure is NOT worth it. Constant micro managing, and quota starts over every month. Threats every few weeks, remember if you don't hit quota there are disciplinary measures. Very negative, fear based environment instead of encouraging. You need to sign 4-5 deals a month, which is an insane target for the investment business owners are needing to make.

I'm disappointed to read this review and I can tell you're feeling a lot of pressure in this role. I want to make sure you know that I'm here to support you, and we have resources available to help you navigate these challenges. The fact that you feel as though Toast is a "fear-based" environment is heartbreaking to me. We want employees to feel energized and excited by the impact they're making through their work. I strongly encourage you to reach out to both me and your People Success Partner, so we can figure out the best path forward. I look forward to hearing from you. - Joe Starzec, VP of Sales

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.
