Overall Satisfaction with Gusto

I am a small business employee, and I use Gusto for my payroll information and all HR-related inquiries, including our time off approvals/requests and 30-60-90 feedback processes.

Pros

  • Mobile app -> It is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. It also has small quirks that make it feel warm (the "happy payday" messages, etc.).
  • The time off process is relatively simple for employees—seeing where it is in the approval process and being able to follow up via the Gusto portal is very easy.
  • Pay process: Everything from the estimate, YTD totals, and paystub details are in one place, easy to find, and easy to navigate.

Cons

  • Right now, we get paid by 5 PM on Friday. Early pay (without the use of Gusto's Direct Deposit) would be better, even if it's just by 12 PM.
  • Notifications on the mobile app - could be better/more personalized (Manage notifications options for more stuff like payday, paid time off approvals, etc.)
  • Customize option for the landing/home page based on my account/needs.
  • Employee's being happier with more structured processes (as a prior startup).
  • N/A because new employee/non C-Suite level.
That was the first thing I noticed. From the mobile app to the website, everything is super user-friendly and easy to navigate. The colors are enticing and accessible, and the type/font is always easy to read. As someone with eye strain and other eye issues, I've enjoyed using Gusto.
Gusto is 100% better than Deltek Costpoint, a system I used at my last job for four years. Especially on the usability, it's easier to navigate and overall just easier on the eyes. Gusto had tutorials when I was first figuring it out, which helped, but Deltek's didn't help much.
