Overall Satisfaction with Gusto
We use Gusto for bi-weekly payroll processing, which also involves state and federal tax processing. In addition to this, we use Gusto to track our Paid Time Off - vacation time, sick leave, and public holidays. It is also used to obtain various reports pertaining to HR.
- Payroll
- Taxes
- Customer Service
- Reports
- Reading what is asked in emails and contacting the client.
- Payroll
- Reports
- HR - knowing state laws
- It is costing our company money when the customer service staff are not trained to answer even basic questions.
- Directions when processing a dismissal payroll should be clearer.
- A regular payroll is a quick process when everyone is on salary.
I have used ProService and actually looked into moving our company to them, but a few factors made it impossible at this time. One of the main reasons I like ProService is that you are a member of one team there, and they are the people you always talk to and when you are onboarding or offboarding they are the people the help you process everything. They are also well-versed in both Federal and Hawaii State law, even providing regulated posters each year.
Gusto does not do this - you are pretty much on your own, which is fine until you need answers.

We currently do not have premium support, known as concierge level. I received a call about a month ago from a female staff member at Gusto trying to get me to upgrade (unfortunately I did not get her name). I was interested and they were going to email me a link that would allow me to try it out for a month, and if I liked it I could pay to upgrade. I never received the email, and when I reached out to Gusto via email about it they basically told me they never give free trials. I have even asked if someone from this area could call me to go over the benefits of upgrading, and all I receive continually is an email telling me that I need to just upgrade it by logging in and clicking on some buttons. It feels like they don't really want my business and I do not want to pay for something when I do not know exactly what I am getting.
Not recently, but I think there was a customer service rep who went out of her way to make a report work for me a couple of years ago.
