Pros

Well rounded company culture. It is so apparent that Toast truly values their employees. Management cares about their employees as people first, employees second. Leadership is very hands on and transparent. When COVID hit, Toast was quick to shift the entire company to WFH, continued to be transparent about business details throughout the crisis, and the employees who were laid off were treated with empathy and given a great severance package. Good pay, great employee benefits like wellness stipend, unlimited PTO, snacks & beer/wine at the office, annual company conference, etc. Overall very friendly and positive work environment.

Cons

During periods of rapid growth, workload is heavy across the board, but varies depending on team.

Pros

Used to be one of the best companies

Cons

-Below market average base salary -Unrealistic expectations put on employees (unless you want to eat breathe sleep Toast) -Heavily political with who gets rewarded and recognized -Managers who are too young with zero management experience are running teams with aggressive micro-management tactics. This has eliminated the possibility for career growth individually and fed this mindset that employees are never doing good enough. Truly a toxic setup. -Lack of respect for their employees

Toast Inc Response

This review was really tough to read, but I fully appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback .We’ve built our culture and values around the themes of empathy, collaboration, hospitality and inclusivity and I’m disappointed that your experience did not reflect these values. We’re far from perfect but have been working hard to improve upon many of the areas that you mentioned in your review, particularly work-life integration and manager development. I’m proud of the progress that we’ve made, but I know we still have work to do. Our recent layoff was incredibly difficult and impacted many talented toasters. Operating through this type of change is hard and supporting our employees remains a top priority. I can see from the details of your review that you’re no longer at Toast, but as always, I welcome the opportunity for additional conversation, so please feel free to set up time with me. Thanks again for your feedback.- Jonathan Vassil, SVP/GM SMB
