What do you like best about Vestwell?

Vestwell's platform is attractive and relatively easy to navigate. The integration with our HRIS/payroll, Rippling, was relatively smooth, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vestwell?

We recently onboarded after the Guideline/Acrrue acquisition, and while that was relatively smooth and completed on-time, we've had some blips since then (in particular, one entire payroll contribution ACH was missed). Vestwell's customer support is basically nonexistent. I've sent multiple messages with literally not even a canned response. More recently I was dealing with a loan repayment and it took literally 29 days to get a reply on an ongoing thread. The pricing seems fair to the company, but it's difficult to find documentation that details the price (gotcha!) The fees to the employees is a bit much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
