Pros

Cool company to work for. I enjoyed my XX amount of years there. I met a lot of great people and got some great experiences out of it.

Cons

Obviously COVID took a major toll on toast and heard decisions needed to be made. What is sad is that Toast let get some of the best minds at the company. I'm talking about the best of the best. To save a dollar instead of stretching the dollar to get its max value. I wish they would have given us a reason as to why but I know I will never get that answer.

I appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. As you mentioned, unfortunately, we needed to part ways with many talented and dedicated team members due to the impact that COVID-19 had on our industry. These types of decisions are never easy. Those impacted by our layoff made significant contributions to the success of Toast and will remain an important part of our Toast community. Our team is here to support you and our entire alumni community and we encourage you to keep in touch. - Jonathan Vassil, SVP/GM, SMB

Pros

The benefits and health insurance are amazing and the company culture as a whole is very positive. It was a pleasure to work with almost everyone I met in my time there.

Cons

Lower management, especially for care teams, deeply lacks integrity. Retaliatory practices, lack of communication, and failure to adhere to their own policies are very common behavior depending on who your manager is. The inconsistencies across what is expected from leadership are profound and it is disappointing how much this can derail your career trajectory at Toast. It’s also very difficult to help customers at times, as Toast is notorious for launching new products at customers and providing little to no support to agents that are then expected to troubleshoot using sparse or nonexistent resources and absolutely no training. Cross-collaboration with teams that occasionally intersect is also very challenging, particularly Sales/Onboarding and Care. There were many instances where sales and onboarding specialists set customers up with false expectations of the product, which leaves care teams to deal with the aftermath.
