Pros

fairly flexible schedules, decent pto, generally good communication and support from within your own team

Cons

horrible communication between departments, no one ever really knows whats going on and they really hate to actually promote anyone from care. if you're good at your job, it's supposed to be a benefit and help you advance your career, but here, if you want to leave customer care, it kind of sucks for you. change is fine, but there is too much change and not any communication to the people it affects. when a new product comes out, customer care often finds out because customers are calling in with problems about it. the training is terrible, but they won't hire any trainers who have been on the phones, so it's all from people who created and/or manage the product, which is helpful, but they don't know what kind of questions we get, so it's not as helpful as they think it is. Managers and employees who have been here since the beginning talk about how great it is and how many people have moved into roles that they wanted to go into, but i know so many people who are not moving at all even if they're more than qualified to do the job they're applying to. They will give "new opportunities" only to the people who don't ask for them so if you're interested in a specific department or team, just don't talk about it ever to anyone and you're more likely to get a chance than the people who do the work on their own volition. befriending people is the only thing that matters here.

Although this was a disappointing review to read, I am very grateful for your feedback. We understand how important clear and consistent communication is, so I'm sorry to hear this hasn't been a positive experience for you. In regards to internal mobility opportunities, I would strongly encourage you to connect with our dedicated Internal Mobility team to discuss next steps and options. We truly believe career paths often look more like jungle gyms than ladders, and we want to ensure Toasters feel empowered to explore different options across the company. I would also encourage you to reach out to me, your manager, or your People Success Partner to discuss the details you've shared here. We are all here to support your growth! - Megan Anderson, Chief Customer Officer

Fantastic company culture and excellent, full support from a highly collaborative cross-functional team that genuinely wants to see enterprise deals succeed. Overall, it is well inclusive and supportive company culture.

Rapidly changing product landscape can occasionally make cross-functional alignment a bit complex.

Pros

-Strong pay (if you hit your numbers) -Ambitious goals that challenge you -Competitive landscape that will force you to get better beyond exclusively selling -Founders still very involved and very visible to the company and employees -Team cultures are always strong -For sales, you always get in touch with prospects, which is an underrated pro -When leadership promotes internal mobility and career development they mean it and support it

Cons

-Numerous Sales teams that share the same markets/TAMs. Customers and prospects get exhausted of outreach - Since going public, the goal posts keep moving forward even if 60% of the org hit goal. -A number of core leaders have left, new ones still learning the ropes which was hindering the orgs and teams
