Time saving and well worth the price. Pros Gusto takes the pain out of payroll software. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, gives you clear guidance and the Gusto team provides amazing support.

Owner Mental Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy start up; simple to use" December 23, 2021 5.0 I transitioned to an SCorp and needed to setup payroll for myself even though I only have myself as an employee. The process was not challenging and it's easy to run payroll. Pros You are walked through every step carefully and simply. Steps that could be complicated are clearly laid out. Cons Some things are not fixable on your own and require you to use the help features. I have found Gusto to be very slow in responding to calls and emails. They eventually do and are helpful with the fix, but since many payroll and tax issues are time sensitive, it is not ideal to wait over a month for response or resolve.

Pretty much just did nothing. Pros Getting paid, when it works, however at this point Gusto has completely failed in this mission. Cons Difficult to use, support staff took days to respond and never resolved the issue.No solution, even though support said it was a major software bug.Prevented payment processing entirely for validation that could be done over the phone.

Otherwise, we have had an overall positive experience. Pros I like the time tracking integration they recently added. I like the PTO tracking and forms available. Cons There needs to be more options with time tracking, like not allowing employees to change their own time and geotagging. Review Source MM Mark M. Account Manager Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Super Simple" January 7, 2020 5.0 Never had any issues. All of my information (paystubs, days off, tax documents, benefits info) is all easily available. I tend to forget to clock in and out, but Gusto makes it easy to adjust your timestamps. Pros It's incredibly simple where it needs to be, yet offers a lot more functionalities than just keeping track of hours worked. Cons I wish Gusto had a simple clock in/out mobile app. It's not terribly important, but I feel like that would be more convenient than using my mobile internet browser.

I found videos that help give ideas of the full functionality and capability of the software, so I'm excited to see what else it can do.
