Pros

Toast is an amazing company. The leadership including the founders and CEO are compassionate and caring and make all decisions based on Toast's values. This is a company that truly cares about its employees, its products, and its customers. Toast feels more like a community than a job. Your co-workers grow to be your family. Toast offers unlimited PTO and amazing perks such as ping pong tables in the office, unlimited snacks, bagels on Mondays, parking attached to the building, and lots of team outings.

Cons

Like many other reviews, they are little to no cons about working at Toast. The pay is below average for the Boston area and for the amazing talent they recruit. Toast is extremely picky in who they hire as they only want the best but do not pay to retain that talent. Due to COVID-19, they will no longer match 401k for remainder of the year.

Thanks for sharing about your experience! What you've highlighted here - our community, our values, and our commitment to building the best products for our customers- are all things that make me proud to be a Toaster too. I hear your feedback about compensation. As you know, this has been a topic in our recent all-hands meetings. I'm hoping these discussions are helpful in understanding our compensation and total rewards philosophy, particularly in the context of COVID-19. I encourage you to connect with your manager or PSP if you have additional questions or feedback. Thanks again for your review! - Annie Drapeau, Chief People Officer

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.
