Pros

Leadership does an okay job of being transparent about changes to the system and integration enhancements. They have a sales enablement team that you can work with on projects or just Q/A with. Sales training is focused on the Challenger model and leadership reinforces those ideas during discussions about opportunities. The org uses SalesForce to manage the entire sales process which is helpful.

Cons

When you work for Toast you essentially are selling credit card processing. Toast generates the majority of its revenue from the credit card processing fees it charges customers. AS A REP YOU CAN'T SELL AN ACCOUNT WITHOUT HAVING THEM USE TOAST FOR CREDIT CARD PROCESSING. This is a fact that wasn't made clear during the recruiting process. While you make some money on the margins of cc processing you don't make residual revenue for the sales you make. You just get paid one time for accounts sold. Also, leadership promotes people very quickly. They have several folks with no leadership skills or experience in management positions simply because they had a couple good sales quarters. Also the customer base is very SMB. If you are a rep that is used to working with a more sophisticated buyer, the majority of the time, that will not be the case when working an opportunity.
