Pros

Teammates to lean on. My direct coworkers.

Cons

- Micromanagement. - Lack of organization in onboarding. - New hire training was not enough or refined. - Now that I am no longer an employee, I see former coworkers (who still work at toast) posting on social media smoking, vaping, drinking, while being on internal zoom meetings In the middle of the day while you are able to clearly hear meeting content. This is wild to me. - Toxic clique culture. “you had to be there” conversations constantly coming up in team meetings. - HR claims were ignored

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.
