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.

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.

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.

I have spoken to their customer support… I have spoken to their customer support 10 times about an issue. Every time they send me the same robot response but never read what I am asking. They say they have paid a late fee because they paid the government late. Yet when I call the IRS they say this hasn't been paid. Every attempt to ask for confirmation I just get a robot response that this has already been paid. Now talking today to another customer support team member today they said the payment was made on April 8th, but it isn't the same amount as what was due. So why all these previous emails saying they paid the bill back in February and why isn't the amount the same as the amount that's due. Of course I'll need to followup with the IRS and be put on hold for hours to confirm this. So much time wasted dealing with this issue. Such terrible customer support with the Tax specialist on their team. Even the customer support person I talked to said they couldn't get through to them and that it's annoying.
