Pros

Pay is exceptional when you hit your targets which are always increasing with smaller territory. Company promotes within. Culture is good and company growth has been outstanding. Constantly stressed but paid well.

Cons

Overworked. Missing quota one month no matter how productive your past has been means nothing. Unlimited PTO if you hit your numbers in sales but usually have so much to do that not really vacations but work-cations. Only really care about the stock price and being profitable. Customer service and many departments stretched thin so sales people get significantly different assistance then in the past. Especially with customer issues. Internal resources for in person installs and training are very limited in most markets causing sales to carry so much more weight than already difficulty quotas.

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.
