"Fees have increased, customer serivce decreased, no new features. " Posted 2023-09-11
Pros: Integrates with Gusto payroll services.
Simplified 401k process through automated payroll deductions.Cons: Limited investment options.
No reporting options to show 401k performance.
No retirement planning features.
Pricing doubled.
No additional features or services have been added.
Customer service is difficult to reach.Overall: Spoken with Guideline several times over the years and each time I am left with the impression that our company is more of a burden than an asset.

Last year they doubled their pricing, including adding fees for individual users. When I asked them what we received in return for paying more the answer was nothing.
Called Guideline today. After waiting on hold for over 10 minutes I accepted the prompt for a call back saying I would not lose my spot in line Several hours later I received an email indicating they received my message with a link to their help section while I wait.
So to sum it up, we are paying more, customer service has degraded, no new features or services, that benefit our company have been added (in years). -

"Makes benefits simple" Posted 2021-08-17
Pros: Guideline makes something incredibly complex feel really simple. Things are explained in plain terms and, even for a first time benefits administrator, it was easy to execute.
Cons: Some employees might not like that there's a required 1% retirement contribution.
Overall: Guideline was simple to explore, partner with, execute, and maintain. I'm really glad we found out about Guideline (through Gusto) as a retirement solution and we plan to continue to use them longterm.
