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++++

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!

Extremely frustrating experience with… Extremely frustrating experience with Gusto benefits. I've called several times, had to keep explaining the same issue several times. They keep coming back with half answers over email, and the next time I call it's a new agent and repeat full cycle. Benefits department was clueless on questions on benefits after employee is offboarded. Tried transferring to a different department even though I asked to be placed on the call back list. For someone managing several responsibilities, Gusto has wasted so much of my time.

I have nothing good to say about this… I have nothing good to say about this company. Each customer service rep at Gusto has told us different things for the check reversal we initiated. Come to find out none of them are able to see in real time if funds have actually been disbursed or not. They say give it 3-5 business days. We are actively looking to find a different payroll company. Spare yourselves the headache and look elsewhere for payroll services.

The worst customer service The worst customer service! No reports available, no detail, there was paperwork that needed to be signed but no alert sent. Chat is always down, every email takes days and has a standard "This is a high volume time." Well, every day is a high volume day for me as well, that is why I am paying for a service. I am going to happily open my wallet and go with an established payroll company. BTW I have a micro business, I can't imagine the nightmare created if I had a large business.
