Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I am very pleased with the ability to either manually enter timesheet hours or ask employees to clock in and out. Having all employee data in one place is an excellent resources, and I look forward to utilizing the benefits management portion of the platform to further streamline our onboarding process. Creating custom reports that can aggregate the needed data in one spreadsheet in minutes is also a feature I use regularly for many different HR tasks.
  • GoCo has a sleek, easy to use interface. We get compliments often about how easy and straightforward GoCo has made the onboarding process, which makes a great first impression on new employees who are just joining our agency! It also has vastly cut down on the administrative burden of scanning and filing paperwork into employee personnel files.
  • I like that all our on boarding processes are digital, organized, and user friendly. I really like how easy it is to start my hiring process.
  • GoCo, an easy to use HRIS system, has allowed our employees to have a seamless onboard experience. So many previously antiquated tasks are now easy to accomplish.
  • The interface is user friendly. Customer service is incredible. Always making improvements - I feel like my suggestions/feedback are heard.

Cons

  • The time off scheduling is difficult to manage with prorated part-time employees, as we have to create a new time off classification for each amount, whether they work 20 hours, 24 hours, 30 hours, or so on. We have a lot of part time personnel and this has made using the time off feature both time consuming and frustrating. Inability to edit benefit information as it changes (we switched dental plans mid-year and could not input this from the employer side at all), and also inability to find our carriers in the system, has made implementing benefits administration difficult.
  • It is a little high priced for our non-profit budget.
  • Some of the forms are not complete are can't be signed. Like the background check authorization. There is no field for my employees to sign. It's also a little clunky for the I-9 verification process. For instance, when the employees provide their social security card and ID in one area, I have to download and upload myself. The system is not aware that the documents have already been provided?
  • As an HR admin, there is a lot to learn. Integration with payroll has been challenging, based on how we need to track employee hours for invoicing and billing, but this may be an anomaly of our company.
  • There are a few things that don't integrate well with other products.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Simplifies payroll processing remarkably which is a huge time saver. Offers benefits management, time tracking, compliance help.
  • As a business owner, I used to dread having to do payroll for my employees. But Gusto makes it super easy. Once your employee has entered in the system and you have stated how they are getting paid i.e. hourly or salary, it's super easy to do payroll. I have been able to do payroll while on an airplane, during dinner and by the beach on my iPhone! I simply enter the total hours worked and it's done. It literally takes me seconds!
  • Very easy to use, and has many features. The app and website are both streamlined and intuitive to use.
  • I use Gusto as my payroll solution for my bookkeeping business. They have the best prices for the services provided. Their platform is easy to use and navigate, they offer benefits and HR solutions in addition to payroll, and they've automated new employee onboarding which means less work for me!
  • Gusto is an incredible product. Everything is easy to find. It's intuitive. Every bit of information I need is at my fingertips. Their support is responsive and kind. And there's even a cute little (seasonally decorated!) animated pig that trots across your screen while it loads!

Cons

  • It is a bit pricey, especially for small businesses or startups.
  • There are no cons. They provide in one platform within Gusto- worker's compensation services, health insurance (you don't have to look for plans) they help you narrow the best options for where you live, and offer 401K plan and so much more! Everything you need is all in one place and one log in!
  • No complaints so far! I don't have to use it very often, but when I do it's always very easy to accomplish the tasks I want.
  • I can't think of anything I don't like about Gusto. They are so easy to use and the customer service is responsive and helpful as well.
  • I would love to see Gusto expand benefits offerings to more states. Their service is so incredible that we would like to use them for more, but they don't offer benefits in our state.
