Pros

Outside of the care department, the job seems good.

Cons

Micro-managers and the WFM team that publicly ping you via a huge Slack channel anytime you are off queue. Ridiculous metrics that make no sense. No sense of loyalty to employees who actually care about Gusto and the customers. No transparency, and you get disciplined if you try to provide feedback in a way that management doesn't like. Heavens forbid you share feedback as a group or publicly via Slack, yet "feedback is a gift". No room for growth because you get stuck wherever you are and only move up when they need support in a specific area, instead of being able to move up based on skillset and knowledge. Pay is low compared to competitors. They make last-minute decisions and don't care how they affect their employees and don't care about the feedback they provide.

Pros

Great people and culture. Good benefits. The product is east to use.

Cons

The pay is not competitive, there is not much career growth potential, leadership seems out of touch with the teams. The sales orgs are a grind and expect a high volume of calls/dials every day, metrics change constantly and are not really that attainable. A very micro-management style. Company is focused on an IPO so they only care about growth, growth, growth. Every single call needs to be an upsell, no relationship at all with customers. Support team is horrible and biggest complaint from customers - makes it really difficult to sell with mad customers.
