Pros

Was a fun environment before they axed it

Cons

Laid off over half of the company due to covid. Assured us all we would be contacted first when they were ready to rehire. Came out later and said they let go of too many people. Doubled down on existing employees and gave them triple the work. Turned to consulting companies and new hires and completely ignored their alumni. New outsourced customer support team knows nothing and is angering the customers more than helping them.

Poorly developed sales structure in a toxic environment

Pros

Toast is like any other technology company fighting to be cool. They provide free lunch. Give free apparel. Boast the beer fridge and have a snack wall. They try so hard to look cool.

Cons

Yet, they aren't. The interview process is a facade. The sales org is a boiler room. The culture is a scam. If you want to work for a company that values you, invests in you, and supports your growth, do not work here. The recruitment team will be hunting down college graduates that will fall for beer Fridays and a "casual" environment. But I advise, look at the bigger picture - they are so lax, without much else to offer. The sales org is disorganized and frazzled. More often than not, SAs begin to look for another job within the first 6 months. I would not recommend this position and in summary here is why: - Extremely inexperienced managers, >1 at the company, young, immature - Directors are aloof, and preach a strategy filled with foibles - SAs are given no time to improve or develop - fed to the wolves - Quantity over quality - Culture of Bros The sales org and structure inhibits collaboration within teams, and incentivizes associates to do their job without a true purpose, SA's are only a number.

Toast Inc Response

This was tough feedback to receive, but we want to hear it, and are grateful for you sharing it. While we don’t want anyone at Toast to have the experience you did, we understand that Toast is in hypergrowth and it’s not always an easy journey. Your advice to management is a good reminder for us and really any hypergrowth business entering the next phase of growth. Your comment about Bro-culture is alarming and something we are digging into. At Toast, we’re one team - and our culture and values are built around being an inclusive and open environment. We’ll tolerate nothing less. With that said, we’re really proud of the development opportunities we’ve built within Toast. In 2019 we saw many of our Sales Associates grow and take their careers to the next level with clear paths to closing rep roles. We’ve also invested heavily in Q1 of this year in our SA Enablement & Management programs and will continue to do so. We’re working hard to get it right, and if you’re willing, I encourage you to reach out to me directly on LinkedIn and we can set up some time to connect. I appreciate your candor and am committed to making Toast a great place to work. - Aman Narang, President & Co-Founder
