- Gusto is in the process of acquiring our company and they've been pretty bad throughout the process
- Won't give clear answers on the specifics of our work or benefits
- We have people all over the US on our team, working 9am-5pm in our respective timezones, but Gusto now expects us to work schedules within 6am-6pm MST
- Unpaid lunch, 30 min lunch break
- Moving many of us from a salaried to hourly role -- hourly employees get an abysmal amount of accrued vacation/sick time whereas salaried get flex/unltimited (15 day vacation for 1-5 year tenure is a sin)
- No 401k match but they're aqcuiring 401k company?
- Forcing a hybrid schedule on anyone who's within a certain area of one of their hubs (the metric for that area is unclear)
- Gusto has had 17 rounds of funding and is still not ready for IPO....
- They're putting way too much money and energy into the AI bubble
- Pay is terrible for the size and prevalance of the company (can't offer standard benefits but will give you a monthly AI stipend!)
- Their organization for roles/management titles is a joke, and obviously works against the employee regarding raises/promotions
