Pros

Was an outstanding organization to work for- perks, benefits, training, resources, etc. were all second to none. The job itself (FIE): great opportunity to learn new skills, nearly unlimited OT, effective organizational structure.

Cons

In reaction to the COVID slowdown in the industry, Toast laid off a huge chuck of their workforce- the idea being to streamline operations, remove overhead, and contract out as needed to fill gaps. Word on the street, however, is that staff are overworked and given impossible task loads and customers have difficulty seeing their needs addressed. FIE position: An absolute grind in terms of hours and travel. Pay was hourly-based, so the OT was very nice. But at times the schedule could be overwhelming.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm glad there were many aspects of your Toast experience that you enjoyed. This year, we spent significant time focusing on how to better meet the needs of both our customers and employees, as well as addressing some of the concerns you mentioned. I agree that there was an adjustment period, however, I am thrilled with the progress we've made in resource balancing in the second half of the year. Thanks again for sharing- wishing you the best of luck in your next endeavor. - Emmanuelle Skala, SVP, Customer Success

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.
