Pros

Stock options and benefits Training Remote opportunity You have the ability to sell on value many products/offerings Some Inbounds - used to be more

Cons

Territories are constantly changing. I’ve been with Toast for multiple years, I’ve seen my territory change/shrink 7+ times. The latest change has negatively impacted my role at Toast making it extremely difficult to hit quota. This results in high stress and less commissions. Negotiate your pay as you will not receive a base increase even though your role has changed drastically over the years. New hires are being hired in at $10k more on base than what I make today, this doesn’t sit well for those who helped build the company to what it is today. New hires will also benefit off the time you spent growing your zips. Over 40% of my territory was given to a new rep who is working many inbounds in an area I didn’t want to lose and spent so much time making a name for myself (aka being mayor of my town). Once you get a year under your belt expect to spend 50% of your time managing customers who are unhappy with support and not getting much help from outsourced teams. Also expect a lot push back from other teams when asking for assistance to support customers. Expect to be the customers main point even though you’re told not supposed to be. Not all Tams are the same but you will be compared to all Tams

First, I would like to thank you for your many years as a dedicated Toaster. I am grateful for employees like you who bring our values to life. I'm disappointed to read some of the cons you listed here, as it is a top priority to make sure all employees feel supported by us. Thank you for sharing your feedback around supporting customers. As a leadership team, we do recognize the need for additional support on our Care teams, so we are actively hiring for these positions. I expect that this will allow us to continue providing a stellar experience for customers, while also alleviating some of the pressure this puts on our Sales team. I'm really grateful for the details you've shared here, and I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss solutions together. Please put some time on my calendar. - Joe Starzec, VP of Sales

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
