## Reviews

### "Don't Do It" — 2.0/5

> **LaKeita** | *November 5, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The interface is sleek. The team page looks good.
> 
> **Cons**: Payroll is TERRIBLE. The system is constantly giving an error message that you can't fix. You have to wait on GoCo to fix it. Currently, sitting on the phone trying to troubleshoot a payroll that was submitted on 11/1. It's 11/5 and my pay date is today.
> 
> I would not recommend GoCo to anyone. There are a number of glitches in the system and not enough support.

-----

### "Avoid at all costs - unhelpful and inaccurate" — 1.0/5

> **Sarah** | *October 4, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10; was helpful in payroll. He seemed the most empathetic out of the media of individuals we came across during our turbulent times.
> 
> **Cons**: I’m not able to find anything I like. It’s been six weeks and we haven’t been able to pay the \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10; because they don’t understand how to fix an issue they created with S Corp. tax benefits. I feel like we’ve had to describe tax code and everyone is so stuck in their silo. No one would track down the actual issue until about week four. I’m the COO and I haven’t gotten paid in a month.
> 
> Horrible I do not recommend using them if you need to ensure tax compliance. Moves very slow and most people stay siloed vs help you.

### "Strong starters, weak finishers" — 2.0/5

> **Jon** | *September 9, 2025* | Veterinary Software | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We liked the ability to streamline our onboarding process. Different tasks can be assigned to different individuals, and deadlines could be set. The onboarding process is about the only pro that I can think of.
> 
> **Cons**: Their support is close to non-existent. I have never been able to connect to a live person on the phone. We have had numerous issues related to payroll, scheduling and a myriad of other problems, and they are always days away from a response.
> 
> Strong starters, weak finishers. During the onboarding process with them, it was obvious that some of their 'onboarding team' were either rookies at their jobs, or just didn't understand what their jobs were. We're still dealing with payroll tax issues that they created during the onboarding process- and they're blaming Gusto- and Gusto is blaming GoCo. When seeking support online their responses are usually a link to a page on their help site. They seem to get more responsive as their renewal comes up, and all of a sudden they want our feedback. Most of the people we've talked to within the organization don't find solutions, just offer lip service.

### "Save yourself the tax headache and look elsewhere for payroll management" — 1.0/5

> **Ezequiel** | *April 7, 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The time tracking was fine, I believe that was why my company switched to them from trinet. This was really the only aspect of the software that worked well.
> 
> **Cons**: Their customer service is awful. They not only messed up all our W-2s, but have yet to send the corrected ones after many requests and reminders. We’re now a week from the tax deadline and our entire staff will have to file for an extension this year. Instead of being transparent about the process it’s been nothing but platitudes and canned responses like “thanks for your patience”

### "HR that automates payroll, onboarding, and compliance" — 5.0/5

> **Juan** | *August 27, 2025* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Automated onboarding gets new employees moving fast, and payroll flows are adaptable, so time tracking, benefits, and documents are all in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: Learning curve bites while creating data maps and workflows for enhanced reports, whereas bug fixes require careful follow-up.
> 
> HR processes from hiring to time off became less fragmented. Dashboards made payroll seamless, and compliance easier to monitor.
