Pros

The culture at Toast is amazing. Very inclusive, hard working and fun!. Pay is great (base + commission, and a lot of opportunity for bonuses). They go out of their way to congratulate success and they truly care about the impact they're making in the restaurant/hospitality industries.

Cons

Toast has been and is in a hyper growth state, which is great and they're doing fantastic things, but you still feel a bit of the growing pains. As a sales rep, hitting your quota is everything and the most important thing to District Managers and up. And as an outside rep, you sometimes feel disconnected to the company and your peers.

I love what you shared here, and I echo this sentiment! There is nothing better than celebrating wins together! I also hear you on the pains of hypergrowth. I, along with the rest of sales leadership, are deeply committed to making Toast a supportive and inclusive workplace for everyone, including our remote employees. - Jonathan Vassil, GM of SMB

Pros

- leadership team is vetted, engaged, and ready to build the next 100 year company -if you work hard, ask for more responsibility, and coach others around you, your work will be reward and promotions will be given at record rate - easy to stand out if you can handle the growing pains of a fast paced startup

Cons

- there is a lot of work here - pay is below market, could lose top talent to other notable SaaS companies in BOS, NYC, and SF

Great company, HORRIBLE undermanagement

Pros

- Super successful company - All the resources you want

Cons

You know how they say: employees don’t leave their jobs, they leave their managers? From the get go expectations weren’t laid out at all: What I’ll be doing, what my day to day will look like, what is expected of me as a professional, what metrics I’m being measured against. Im a noob so I didn’t find this particularly concerning. Looking back now, I will think twice before taking a job if the job laid out in front of me isn’t clear. There’s a phrase they use here: “limited management oversight.” This seems to be a ploy to undermamage. As a manager, you need to measure performance actively. You can’t just be MIA the entire month or quarter and just show up at the end and tell me I didn’t do anything right.

This was a tough one to read, but I appreciate you sharing it. We need to hear this feedback in order to make the employee experience better. I’m sorry that you’ve felt undermanaged, with unclear expectations about performance in your role. Hypergrowth can definitely present challenges as the needs of the business continuously evolve, but that’s no excuse for how you’ve been feeling. I would love to connect and better understand your situation so that we can make it right. If you’re comfortable, I encourage you to reach out to me directly via email or through OfficeVibe. - Annie Drapeau, CPO
