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.

something fishy … opened our dinner for tonight the packaging explains carefully sourced for gusto, packing does not indicate source , why are they shy to say , I suspect it’s from a far east fish farm. I have image of packaging

All of the five star reviews you see… All of the five star reviews you see for this company are actually advertising based. They have actually paid for these reviews. This site allows you to provide an honest review. As a CEO and owner of my company I switched from a small local payroll company to Gusto in January and it has been nothing but absolute misery. The customer service is horrible. Nobody knows who is doing what and you cannot reach a live person to save your life. They are condescending and rude and delay in their responses. we are clearly going to make a change but too many changes and payroll causes big problems with 941 and tax so we are going to have to be stuck with them for a little while. I cannot tell people enough to steer clear of this company.

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.
