Vantaggi

Rapidly growing company with a high evaluation value

Svantaggi

Ridiculous work requirements - 60+ hour weeks required. Booked out on appointments as much as 12 weeks ahead, 60+ hours. Unlimited PTO policy, but almost all requested denied. Salaries 40 to 50% under market standard. 15+ hour days normal. Poor yearly evaluations given to prevent having to give raises. Now asking for weekend work as well. Benefits that were cornerstones of hiring being taken away one by one. Almost never get breaks for meals, much less just breaks, even though we should "feel empowered to take breaks," the scheduling and customer needs do not allow for them. Doesn't pay missed meal break penalty pay. Management bonuses based on productivity numbers. Company management and founders are probably just trying to drive the stock evaluation price up so they can bail and make a fortune while the people in the field actually doing the hard customer facing work will be stuck with their stocks for a year after the company goes public, is sold off and then drops drastically in value.

Thank you for your candid feedback. I'm really sorry to hear that your experience is as described. My goal is to ensure that our FIEs have a positive work experience and that, despite hypergrowth, we are maintaining work/life balance for the team. Many of the challenges you described are deeply troubling to me as there are measures in place to mitigate these issues. I understand that as we grow there will be the need for continued improvement, and I can assure you that I am committed to developing solutions. However, there are some points mentioned that lead me to think that there might have been a miscommunication or misunderstanding. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you to go over these. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss further. If you prefer to remain anonymous, you can use Officevibe to reach me. - Ellery Fink, Senior Director, Services

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
