Great Benefits Portal
What do you like best? The ability to see all things HR & employer-related within one handy place! What do you dislike? I felt like I needed more information about my health benefits up front. In the window between sign up and receiving cards, I felt like I was in a weird limbo of sorts where I knew I had care, but couldn't easily prove it. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Our employee satisfaction surveys are beneficial for us ...

Gusto makes my life so much easier!
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? I’ve always dreaded payroll management tasks—from sending out compensation to figuring out which insurance policy to use for my team. But now, with Gusto working for me, everything is a lot easier. I love that the software’s design is simple and clean too. What aspects are problematic or could work better? It takes a while for their customer service reps to respond to my questions/concerns. They really should work this out ...

Good for small businesses but not for ones with expected growth
What do you like best? It's a very easy to use payroll platform for users, our employees have little to no trouble logging in and making adjustments or viewing pay stubs. The interface is nice as well. What do you dislike? Support is lacking, the chat function on the page disappears randomly throughout the day making it difficult to reach someone and it used to take ages to dig up a support number to call and talk to a human being. They've gotten better over the past several months ...

The easy-to-navigate interface allows me to aim my attention fully at management tasks
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? Being the top executive of a not-for-profit group means that I have a lot of tasks on my plate. Gusto helps me manage them all without breaking a sweat though since it automates a large part of payroll and compliance management. What aspects are problematic or could work better? There is nothing much to dislike about Gusto no matter how hard I try to nitpick. What specific problems in your company were solved by this product? ...

Streamlined Payroll
What do you like best? Gusto was very easy to set up and streamlines payroll without all of the hassle with traditional paperwork. What do you dislike? Not many companies outside of those based in California seem to use it. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? By streamlining payroll, Gusto saves me time from dealing with administrative work so that I can focus my energy on other priorities.

Taste is a good choice for administrative compliance.
What do you like best? I like it since I can have everything on a single platform, tax obligations payment receipts, and tax receipts, in the administrative area it is usually very difficult to get such an intuitive platform that has a dynamic interface, because Gusto has all that, and even last month we had several problems with the insurance of the hired employees, and gladly gave us relevant information through reports that helped in a spectacular way, it has diminished all those ...

Easy to use, great customer service!
What do you like best? Gusto is very easy to use- can add new employees in 2 minutes, they have lots of tools when you run payroll, and we transitioned our company from once a month payroll to twice a month super easy! They're very upfront about costs, taxes, and have fun and witty anecdotes on the platform. What do you dislike? I think you have to really do your own research about payments and HR law. Gusto will assist with that, but I fell most companies with Gusto won't have a ...

Gusto Review
What do you like best? Any policy/paystub access is always at my disposal. What do you dislike? Wish it was quicker on time off approval. Also, half our office disagrees on the pronunciation. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I had to change my direct deposit and it was super easy in my profile.

Payroll made easy
What do you like best? I love the weekly "you got paid" emails. They use infographics and graphic design very well- I'm able to open the email, see the dollar amount I was paid, and a pie chart of how much money was withheld. What do you dislike? I use gusto when I work at my seasonal summer job. Once I took a summer off, and had a gap in employment. I was unable to re-sign up, and had to contact my boss to help me re-enroll. What problems are you solving with the product? What ...
