Pros

- Flexibility to work remotely! - Great learning opportunities! - Interesting work and products!

Cons

- Low compensation when compared to other companies of this caliber. - Leadership has destroyed company culture by putting profits above all else. - Compensation and benefits keep getting cut. - Incredibly high expectations (I enjoy this since it keeps things interesting, but it can be draining at times). - Promotion opportunities are hard to come by. - Unlimited time off means 4-5 weeks. This is not bad, but a bit dishonest.

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.
