Pros

Insurance, benefits, company provided equipment.

Cons

Unfortunately like many companies Toast was hit hard by the pandemic, however, I feel that they cut too hard too fast, and absolutely killed everything that both employees and customers alike enjoyed about the company itself. Pre-Covid-19 The culture and company was thriving, it was "the place to be", however once Covid hit the restaurant industry the leadership team took DRASTIC measures - and were pretty sketchy about how and why they did some of the things that they did. When you wipe out an entire department just to "rebrand them" and over work your employees it isn't a good feel. Not only did the Toast Customers feel the pain the employees did as well.

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.
