### "Gusto weighed up "

November 19, 2024

4.0

Gusto is a powerful and user-friendly payroll solution, though lower pricing and faster support would make it even more appealing.

Pros

Gusto makes payroll and HR management simple, with an intuitive interface and features like automated tax filing, benefits management, and direct deposit. I love how it streamlines onboarding and compliance for my team.

Cons

However, it can be expensive for small businesses, especially when adding features beyond payroll. Customer support response times could also be improved during busy periods.

### "Gusto Review "

August 23, 2024

4.0

Overall I would recommend Gusto and say that it works very well.

Pros

I enjoyed the simple user face of Gusto. It was easy to navigate and find everything that I needed.

Cons

When I had questions, it often took a while for customer service to get back to me. When they did, they were very helpful, but it often took some time.

### "Your own little accessible HR "

November 4, 2024

5.0

Gusto is what my workplace uses for the employees to take PTO, review and select benefits, and more. We don't have a formal HR department, so Guso acts as our own little HR for most of what we need!

Pros

Gusto is really helpful for my workplace. I can access all of my benefits, time-off, reviews and more.

Cons

I wish Gusto gave me tips on how to manage my PTO or other services that they offer.

### "Small business payroll for dummies"

July 12, 2024

5.0

Perfect for what I needed small business employer with multiple hats to play, and this made payroll, more accurate and less stressful

Pros

How easy and straightforward the system is not complicated and identifying errors so that payroll can be completed

Cons

Very simplistic unfortunately it doesn’t have all the data categories. You’re larger more expensive systems will have however, if you have the time that they worked, and you use a application that integrates it the most bang for your buck.

### "Good, with some covets "

August 26, 2024

4.0

We use Gusto in our day-to-day for pay with our employees. While the platform is mostly fairly straightforward and easy-to-use, there are times where things are a bit too text-heavy, and make it a bit complicated to find what you need. Other than that, the platform has been fine and works well for what we need.

Pros

Relatively easy to use, but a little more text driven.

Cons

A little disorganized in certain areas make it hard to find specifics.
