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

Pros

The people at Toast are great! Not a bad apple in the bunch! It was fun interacting with them on a daily basis.

Cons

The work is VERY stressful, especially in Support. There was a LOT of turnover. Also, there didn't seem to be an interest from management to make a better product. Rather, the focus seemed to be on "going public," which means making a product just good enough to sell, but not spending a lot of effort making it better. Sales were more important.

I genuinely appreciate your contributions to Toast over the course of your tenure, and I wish you all the best! - Emmanuelle Skala, SVP Customer Success

Pros

Amazing start-up culture. Eclectic group of people that all have something to bring to the table. Work life balance is very much encouraged with unlimited PTO and wellness benefits - Toast really cares about the well being of its employees. The (Omaha) office is beautiful AND environmentally friendly (we compost!), which makes it really easy to be there for 8 hours a day.

Cons

With Toast’s incredible growth, there are a lot of growing pains/systems changing rapidly. Definitely not the type of workplace for someone who is adverse to change and can’t go with the flow.
