"I love Gusto!"
What do you like best about Gusto?

My experience with Gusto has been nothing short of great. Their service is incredibly fast and efficient, which is particularly appealing to a finance geek like myself. I am drawn to their friendly branding and the simplicity of their transactions. Using Gusto makes running a business seem more enjoyable and less daunting. I'm enthusiastic about their platform to the extent that I happily recommend it to anyone involved in business operations or considering starting their own.

What do you dislike about Gusto?

Not a dislike but I would love if Gusto had task management like Clickup.

What problems is Gusto solving and how is that benefiting you?

Although I don't own a business, I'm impressed by how incredibly easy Gusto is to use for checking my paystub and history. I particularly appreciate how I can see multiple companies I work for under one email seamlessly. This simplifies my interactions and allows for easy access to all my information in one place.

"An extremely smooth experience from an employee perspective."
What do you like best about Gusto?

In my opinion, Gusto is streamlined and well put together. In particular, navigation is intuitive, and it's easy to find information on paystubs, time off requests, and employee documents. I also thought that integration with taxes and automated W-2s were very helpful. As a small extra bonus, the ever-changing animations on the website and on paystub emails give it a genuinely fun and personalized touch; I'm actully excited to get my deposit emails.

What do you dislike about Gusto?

I struggle to think of any major negatives to my experience so far. I suppose that Gusto could further broaden their charity options in the giving tab, as the main one I wanted to donate to wasn't available.

What problems is Gusto solving and how is that benefiting you?

From my perspective as an employee, Gusto is a nice central hub for tracking and requesting time off, viewing/selecting benefits, and getting paystub and tax information.

Nothing, it's great for us. Provides everything that we need.

Makes it so I am compliant with the Gov. and State. with the necessary fillings. Saves me time and money not having to run payroll myself or have another person that charges alot to do it.

Very simple user interface, and great payroll updates. We added benefits this year and it was easy on our team to understand their options.

Expense reimbursements are a bit confusing, it seems like it's running the full payroll early each time I add an expense reimbursement.

It helps me handle payroll taxes and withholding easily.
