Pros and Cons	The self-service portal is intuitive and easy to navigate, offering features for payroll entry, custom reporting, and data access. Dedicated payroll specialists are knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive, resolving issues efficiently. Payroll automation eliminates the need for manual calculations by handling taxes, deductions, and filings at local, state, and federal levels. Integration with external systems (e.g., time cards, accounting software) streamlines payroll and reporting processes. Onboarding processes can be disorganized and manual, leading to errors and requiring additional oversight. Frequent turnover of payroll representatives affects continuity and consistency for some customers. Employees often face challenges accessing the portal, with issues like account lockouts or subpar mobile experience. Limited customization in some areas, such as payroll entry screens, reporting, or recurring benefit changes.	Simplifies payroll processing and tax compliance, making it user-friendly even for non-experts. Offers robust integrations with platforms like QuickBooks Online and other accounting systems. Excellent customer support that is responsive, timely, and efficient in resolving issues. Comprehensive features for businesses, including onboarding, benefits management, retirement plans, and compliance support. Occasional reports of errors in support communication or inconsistencies in handling complex account issues. Some users find the transition from alternative payroll providers to Gusto challenging without adequate guidance. Limited advanced customization for businesses with highly complex payroll needs. Mobile app, while feature-rich, may lack certain functionalities compared to the desktop platform.
