Vantaggi

The company is overall amazing to work for. The benefits are top tier and the people are incredible.

Svantaggi

The expectations are not realistic. Only a fraction of SDRs (~25%) are hitting quota, while the majority are not. Management refuses to do anything to help us. We're pressured to focus on "activity" rather than what is actually working. Toxic and stressful work environment. Burnout is rampant across the entire org. Upper management is completely inflexible about changing processes to include methods that would actually help set us up for success. The biggest issue with the majority of SDRs not hitting quota is how our pay structure is set up. Even if you're one demo shy of quota, that's a difference of $1k+ on our commission checks. We're told OTE is $72.2k/year and that "the majority of SDRs hit quota" because of how "easy" it is to hit during our interview processes when that's just not the case. It's easier to be put on a performance plan and be fired here than it is to hit quota. It's also impossible to move onto other roles in the company because you're required to hit quota in order to be considered for even a lateral move.

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.
