Pros

- The company has a great name you can use the experience here to pivot to a new role - Remote work seems to be permanent

Cons

- You can't walk 5 feet without bumping into middle management - They say career growth is a priority but try to find someone willing to take a promotion - Went from nearly 100% quota attainment to 10% - Gave every single rep a paycut going into the new year - New CEO preaches "managers on the front lines" which really means "get ready to be micromanaged" - Being at Toast used to mean something, now regardless of who you're speaking with they're interviewing else where

Pros

-Strong pay (if you hit your numbers) -Ambitious goals that challenge you -Competitive landscape that will force you to get better beyond exclusively selling -Founders still very involved and very visible to the company and employees -Team cultures are always strong -For sales, you always get in touch with prospects, which is an underrated pro -When leadership promotes internal mobility and career development they mean it and support it

Cons

-Numerous Sales teams that share the same markets/TAMs. Customers and prospects get exhausted of outreach - Since going public, the goal posts keep moving forward even if 60% of the org hit goal. -A number of core leaders have left, new ones still learning the ropes which was hindering the orgs and teams
