Pros

being with the company over 2 years is a plus; work is steady and initially though there was room for growth

Cons

train employees to upset them (fire or quit) so the training wheel restarts Hiring out side for leadership instead of promoting within - Hard to get guidance from someone who does not know how to themselves Make promises (change schedule to accommodate the company needed) - that set you up for failure - I don't trust the management team or WFM at this time WFM - Is literally the time police for WFH staff yet they expect an employee to change there activities / aux and don't understand the position itself. Lately feeling like a robot in jail. Management won't listen -- they call you out on auxing but can't keep promising or low turnover --- currently and sadly looking for new role / company -- hate to start over; the training them put into me and my training team is such a waste--- only 5-6 of my initial training team remain. The renewals department doesn't take on the backlash when they screw up - calls and emails should go to that specific team but they don't --- they get misrouted and delayed in the hands of inexperienced or untrained reps. Easy way to delay the customers and blame others for the disconnect. Again the system is broken Also Gusto management seem racist

Pros

The product is genuinely good, too bad the same can’t be said for how they treat the people who sell it.

Cons

Leadership talks a big game about people-first culture but the reality doesn’t match. The Chicago office expansion felt like a poorly thought-out experiment, new hires were brought on without a clear long-term commitment, and layoffs came without warning, leaving people blindsided. Crossing a billion dollars in revenue and still cutting employees sends a clear message about where workers rank on the priority list. Remote work flexibility is also a glaring weakness. For a company selling HR software to modern businesses, their internal stance on where employees can work is surprisingly rigid and hypocritical. The “flexibility” messaging is mostly optics. The broader concern is the AI roadmap. The automation push feels less like an innovation strategy and more like a slow wind-down of the workforce. Employees aren’t blind to it, it creates anxiety and erodes trust. The culture of transparency they promote externally is largely a facade internally.
