Pros

Pay was good, and there were a lot of good people employed there.

Cons

At the time, the product had a lot of technical issues that could be difficult to mitigate for many users, and the fact that the customers are restaurants, you could expect nights and weekends to be when you get the escalations because their system is down. That could be stressful. Also, the commute was horrible, being in the middle of Boston and they wanted people to be in the office instead of remote if they lived in the area, though they had people located in numerous states, so many were always remote.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. As you noted, serving a 24/7 industry like restaurants has a unique set of challenges. We work to promote a balanced work/life blend for employee through our flexible time off policy, wellness programs, and more, but we know there is still room to improve. Thank you for your feedback, and best of luck in your future endeavours.

Pros

You do well, you get paid well.

Cons

The stress and pressure is NOT worth it. Constant micro managing, and quota starts over every month. Threats every few weeks, remember if you don't hit quota there are disciplinary measures. Very negative, fear based environment instead of encouraging. You need to sign 4-5 deals a month, which is an insane target for the investment business owners are needing to make.

I'm disappointed to read this review and I can tell you're feeling a lot of pressure in this role. I want to make sure you know that I'm here to support you, and we have resources available to help you navigate these challenges. The fact that you feel as though Toast is a "fear-based" environment is heartbreaking to me. We want employees to feel energized and excited by the impact they're making through their work. I strongly encourage you to reach out to both me and your People Success Partner, so we can figure out the best path forward. I look forward to hearing from you. - Joe Starzec, VP of Sales
