Gusto Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Encouragement by others and help when needed

The company's values is about caring, but them company doesn't care about you, or the customers

Gusto's mission is to provide an atmosphere where work empowers a better life

Disagree and commit is important to me and seems to be supported in each team I've been on.

- Transparent - Consistent - Not adverse to change - Caring - Thoughtful - Fun - Competitive - Impactful - Supportive - Fun

Transparency, open communication, everyone is the owner of the company

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Trust the people you employ

Remember why they named managers "People Empowerers" and actually create opportunities for impact instead of directing people whose work you don't even really understand.

actually focus on making this product better, lay your employees market value, and either train management properly or get rid of som of them? we literally have PEs (people empowerers) who have PEPEs - which is both comical and pointless, especially when you factor in them being completely useless

Significantly increase pay in correspondence with what the actual workload is.
