Pros

Unlimited PTO, remote, good intentions

Cons

Full of people that like to hear themselves talk. Yeah they’re smart but with zero self awareness or relational traits unless it’s the face they’re putting in front of higher ups. Other reviewers are right, don’t come here for the culture because you won’t feel welcome.

I am so sorry to hear that this has been your experience at Toast. Building an inclusive culture where all Toasters have the opportunity to thrive is a top priority for us. We are also very dedicated to managerial training. We do often promote individual contributors into their first management role, and although that's exciting from a career development perspective, we also recognize that we have a responsibility to equip those individuals with the skills they need to best support and grow their teams. I'm sorry to hear this hasn't been reflected in your experience so far. I would strongly encourage you to reach out to your people success partner to see how we can better support you.

Best career move I’ve made

Pros

I’ve worked for large, well known, very established corporations for years. I left these companies because they made you feel like nothing but a number. I was hired at Toast in the past month and I can confidently say this is the best career move I’ve ever made. The people have been wonderful. Even my husband hears a difference on my Zoom meetings - he says everyone sounds positive and upbeat. Only a few weeks in and it couldn’t be more apparent that Toast genuinely cares about their employees. They’re innovative, creative, empower their employees, encourage time off, are constantly growing and look out for their people. This feels like home already and I see myself here for the long haul.

Cons

Learning virtually is always a challenge but the people are supportive and want you to succeed. I don’t see any cons so far. Some may consider the constant change a challenge - but I see it as a positive. Be ready to be agile and pivot on processes, they’re open to new ideas and not a lot of red tape, allowing employees to be innovative and provide feedback for improvement.

Thank you for this feedback. Although I am disappointed to hear that you didn't have a more positive experience at Toast, this information helps us understand where we can do better as an organization. I'm not sure when you left Toast, but I am pleased to share that we have already made progress in many of the areas you've highlighted, including career development, manager training, and recognition programs. I am sorry that you felt under appreciated during your time here. I know I speak on behalf of the entire leadership team when I say we are incredibly grateful for our Toasters' dedication and hard work. It seems like you have a lot on your mind and I believe we'd both benefit from further discussion. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. - Emmanuelle Skala, SVP, Customer Success
