      Pros

      Front line workers are the best people

      Cons

      Gusto's comp package included several perks that were in lieu of more competitive pay. Most of these perks are gone, with more to come and there's no indication pay will be reevaluated. Most of these decisions are effecting front line Employees who lack resources to do their job effectively. Gusto used to really care for and focus on it's own people but it's now like any other large capitalist corporation and it's people are just numbers and resources. Sad to see it go this way.

      Pros

      -Health benefits are paid for the individual -Work from home option/hybrid work

      Cons

      When I first started Gusto offered a $1,500 fly-away bonus for employees, unlimited PTO, and WFH stipends (No matter where you are located, it has since changed that if you are remote within a office you no longer receive this benefit). It is better to add benefits as you grow, rather than strip them away in rapid succession. It leads to poor employee experience (as seen with the myriad of recent reviews) and will result in a large brain drain of company talent. As Gusto continues to push the bottom-line it fails at what made it great as company, its customers. We continually need to make excuses for features that Gusto does not offer compared to competitors.
