Pros

Amazing coworkers. They strictly hire young people so it’s very easy to make friends.

Cons

They do not care about your well being and treat you as a robot. There are major discriminatory issues in this department that are brushed under the table when addressed. They only care about you manning your desk at all times and hitting your performance metrics (90% of back to back calls). This company strictly hires young girls straight out of college because they are “moldable.” A direct quote from a supervisor was the reason they do this is to avoid a “typical Indian call center” for customer service. I repeat, this company has severe issues that they refuse to address. They do not care about their employees. I would never recommend working for this company. The reason they have so many benefit “perks” (which they conveniently strip away) is because the work environment is not up to par.

Pros

Free food Cool people in sales org Middle Management is cool

Cons

The amount of turnover is genuinely astonishing Some teams are hitting less than 50% of quota AI has gotten out of hand.... It's almost comical Laid off 25+ people, partially because of "AI" I can genially say upwards of 10 of the most senior sellers have ALL left in the past 12 months "Upper" sales management is lost - focusing on AI above the actual processes and operations that can grow revenue No 401(k) 2 of 65+ GPRO reps in '2025 went to Presidents Club NO VALUE IN SALES TRAINING Rev-Opp's calls all the shots for partner sales - and they have not made any decisions that have driven an increase in revenue. Upper management and Rev Opp's stopped a majority of lead sources for Account Executives, expanded quotas, fired middle management, and fired the entire team. I would avoid working at Gusto at all costs.
