Employees have access to their paystubs on their own time. Prior to using this software, our finance manager was having to print and hand them out. It seemed to be a lot of work for her so we found this software. Once the employee creates their own account, they can log on and print them off or view the pay stubs. They can also save an electronic version that they can save on their computer if they would like. We can also track our own benefits, including how much we pay on our medical insurance and how much PTO we have. This gives employees more access to what is available to them. Performance reviews are available to view if the employer chooses to upload them. Employees can view the reviews and print them off when they may need them. We also like having the ability to choose a charity to donate to and the donations are built into the W2. This gives employees the ability to choose and makes them more likely to donate. The software tracks the donations, making it easier on the employee when filing income tax. I also liked that they communicate very well with the employees using the software. We receive updates when our supervisor approves our time off. We receive emails when we are going to receive our pay. In the pay emails, the software provides a summary of benefits earned, deductions, and pay for that pay period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I felt pressured to sign up for Gusto wallet when I initially signed up. It was pushy and some may feel like they have to sign up for the account. The account can provide a savings but that is something I use my bank for. The fees were somewhere around 3% and if I understood correctly, the employee may elect to receive their paycheck in advance with that fee. I think this may be beneficial to some but not most. I just feel like some people may not realize and there are fees. This is the only thing that was questionable to me. Once set up is complete, I don't feel pressured day to day. They also offer a card option but before I signed up for the card, I checked and couldn't find any ATMs in the area where I live. I would have to travel outside of my town to find an ATM that would not charge fees. I do not like that they advertise getting paychecks up to two days early. This was deceiving and may not be the case. It depends on the payer and the employer. Employees may only sign up to receive their check early to find out they may not receive it early. This was the only thing that I disliked so far. Overall, the software has provided us benefits in all of the areas that we were lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Gusto incredibly user-friendly and scalable for my growing business. The platform's ease of setup and navigation, along with the useful updates, provide me with the confidence I need for expansion. Whenever I've needed additional clarity, the support team has been prompt, clear, and kind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside is that some features may take a little time to get used to, especially for new users, and certain options can feel a bit buried within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use platform, bountiful features, INCREDIBLE customer support. In transferring to Gusto from Paychex, I immediately felt relief. I received excellent support during the implementation and integration of Gusto into our payroll processes and had to make very little changes. Almost every new company does that. Here is where Gusto differs in my mind. Their staff is STILL INCREDIBLE to work with on a regular basis, which is rare today to say the least. Customer service is out the window and the bottom line is the focus and this is the norm. Thank you Gusto for raising the bar. ANYONE can build a software platform!!!! What is rare is the positve, extremely helpful and intuitive system, backed by one of the best (if not the best) support teams I have ever worked with. I absolutely dispise being told "we don't" or "I can't" when dealing with customer service, which is something you don't hear from this team. Instead they use the approach I have for years in customer service: We don't have problems, we have solutions, and although we are unable to fullfill your original request, here are some options and things we can do. Thank you Gusto! Very refreshing to work with people that are knowledgable, empathetic, logical, and that have problem solving skills as well as customer service skills. Your teams kill it every day, thank you for all you have done and continue to do to make this portion of my job so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have to be honest, and I know it may cause skeptisism about my review, but I can't think of anything that I dislike about Gusto, yet. LOL. Have I had issues, sure. Gusto quickly offered no -stress solutions. Is there restrictions that I have had to change operations around, yes. Gusto did their best to assist me in getting a solution in place that would minimize impact to our operations, while ensuring we are compliant. I aboslutely LOVE the lets find a solution mentalilty of everyone I have spoken to or chatted with @ Gusto! Don't lose that, I beg of you! It is what sets you aside from the seemingly endless list of payroll "providers". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GUSTO makes Human Resources and Payroll super easy to accomplish. I run several payrolls each week and most of them are coordinated efforts of ProCare and GUSTO. GUSTO is the main setup for all new hires of our companies. Every new employee is set up and payroll is processed through GUSTO for all of our companies. It is very user friendly and easy to use as well as get reports needed to handle day to day operations. Their customer support is very helpful whenever it is needed. GUSTO's integration of new employees is very easy to accomplish. I use GUSTO every day and even from home on my off days if I need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have not found anything that I dislike about the GUSTO apps and processes. Everything works seamlessly for me and our companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Before Gusto, I used OnPay to run my payroll. With OnPay's reports being late, employees weren't paid correctly, and it cost me hours to set straight state and federal reporting, leading to hundreds to thousands in fines. I was stressed and felt cheated. So, I looked for a new app and found Gusto. It was only $5 a month more than OnPay, took about 10 minutes to set up, and in the years I have been with Gusto, I found every report accurately filed on time and customer service was always just a message or call away. Our employees not only got paid on time but also immensely enjoyed the interface. Now, I am almost arrogant about how sure I am. Gusto will file everything perfectly, and I feel so grateful that it's the least I need to worry about in running my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's so many helpful features, sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming. Thankfully, the onboarding process goes easy on you and there are lists so you can go one item at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Rippling is so much better. please use rippling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Gusto is perhaps the worst company I've ever engaged with for customer service. Any issue at all? Expect to be put on hold for 45 minutes + with zero insight to resolving the issue. Problems with your account? They will insist you complete the same verification procedures over and over. Have a question about your account? They will give you incorrect information and repeat over and over again there system won't allow you to update anything.
Quite literally the definition of insanity. If you have any self-respect and care about your time and sanity, use Rippling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Gusto is a thoughtfully designed platform that offers an exceptionally user-friendly experience. It streamlines time tracking, payroll, and money transfers, making these processes both simple and enjoyable. The app-first approach enhances usability, creating a seamless and intuitive system that feels modern and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Gusto is lacking a bit fo the customization that would be helpful, but they clearly are implementing new features and have a thoughtful approach to processes and the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Switching to gusto for payroll was one of the best decisions I've ever made. On boarding employees is seamless, time tracking is fantastic, and running reports is easy. Gusto maps to QuickBooks online which saves us time and money and allows us to put our energy towards more important organizational things. If you're looking for an easy to implement, and easy to use with provides great customer support gusto is right for you. If you're looking for a payroll partner, you should really consider gusto.
