“Great for starting”
Pros
Gusto is uncomplicated to set up and operate, making it ideal for those just starting with payroll.
Cons
They don't always keep up with laws or catch everything, which is disappointing. I expect my payroll company to stay updated on both federal and state laws.

“Gusto: Best Software For Your Payroll Woes”
Pros
Gusto offers a plethora of features and boasts a highly intuitive interface. We utilize it daily for employee onboarding, payroll management, tax calculations, and filings.
Cons
In my opinion, Gusto is highly likable. I haven't encountered any issues while onboarding employees or processing payroll. However, Gusto could improve its reporting functionality, especially for newcomers.

“simple to use”
Pros
The workflow feels really simple right from the start. Our whole team uses it to submit time off requests and it handles the payroll processing as well which keeps everything in one place.
Cons
Nothing major seems to be missing. The only thing I'd tweak is how quickly paystubs can be accessed but that's a pretty minor nitpick.

“Positive experience”
Pros
I really like how simple it is for employees to use the self-service options.
Cons
Even though I get why the security checks matter, it's frustrating that it doesn't recognize devices that are regularly used.

“user-friendly interface”
Pros
The interface feels really user friendly and the onboarding flow includes some helpful touches that make getting started simple.

A few of the integrations haven't performed as promised so there's still some manual entry needed since it doesn't include a time clock option.

“free trial reveals the downsides”
Pros
Free trial lets you test things before paying but once that period ends, the full reality of the software shows up.
Cons
Honestly there's nothing redeeming here. It feels lazy, low-quality and like a rip off for what you're getting.

“Loved it”
Pros
Best part of it is the unlimited monthly payroll. I also handle payments for my independent contractors through it that keeps everything in one place. Since our whole company operates remotely, we needed something that could support hiring across locations ... I employ staff in 18 states. it made the registration process for each state pretty simple by providing me with links and phone numbers for the relevant state agencies and local municipalities.
Cons
Coming from years of payroll administration, I had to rethink my usual workflow a bit. It is so organized that I needed to adjust how I approach any changes.

“user-friendly HR tool”
Pros
It feels really user-friendly and I like that the product can handle a lot at once... benefits and HR features are all available within the same platform.
Cons
One thing I'm not happy with is the concierge service since I pay extra for it. It's advertised as offering faster turnaround on questions but I'm still waiting on replies to some questions I asked weeks ago so the improvement in response time hasn't really shown up.
