Hiring via Gusto far superior to EoR providers After a horrible experience with an Employer of Record, we concluded that it couldn't be any worse for us to manage the hiring of a US based employee ourselves. We had a US based company already, so decided to use Gusto to manage the rest. Super easy onboarding, manages health insurance, 401K, payroll and registration processes. I'm impressed. Yes more do do that an EoR, but at least we don't have to deal with their errors and their "attitude". Oh and also its $40 a month not $400++++

Worst Customer Service Ever We selected Gusto because they had built in integration with our accounting software. Generally I have liked the product, but their customer service is among the worst of any company I have ever dealt with. We do not have an assigned account rep. If you have an ongoing issue, you have to deal with a different person each time. They have regularly disabled chat support. My theory is that they have grown too quickly and their infrastructure has not kept up. You cannot email or call anyone there directly. We are in the process of looking for a new provider who actually appears to value their customers.

Startups AVOID Gusto - TRUST the reviews on this one Gusto has changed. DON'T use Gusto. Even if you received a recommendation of Gusto. I USED to recommend Gusto to everyone. That's why I blindly signed up again in 2024. DON'T do it. Their platform and Customer Service is NOT functioning anymore. Don't put your business through what mine went through. Customer service will run you around in circles, postpone the calls, put you on hold constantly, and create NUMEROUS tickets for the same issue - again and again and again. Something has gone wrong in Gusto. Stay way!

Incapable of Benefit Management & No Continuity Between Their Internal Depts Most of my experience with Gusto has been positive. However, Gusto seems completely inept handling any kind of issue or error they create in payroll benefits. Nearly six months of repeated escalated tickets, I’ve been handed off between benefits and payroll. No continuity between departments. It’s the worst experience dealing with any company in the decades of my administrative career. Do NOT use their benefits management option.

Horrible customer service Customer service is absolutely terrible. It has been a nightmare with payroll changes that are never entered into the system correctly. And i only employ three people and I'm one of them. Too many foreigners who don't even speak English clearly. I'm so done with this company
