Pros

Good benefits. They have great idea for the company and culture just no follow through.

Cons

Management in Bradenton FL are requiring employees in a "Glassdoor Initiative" to write positive reviews because of the overwhelming poor reviews which are pretty spot on. That is just 1 example of the untrustworthy culture and company. They have changed comp structure so many times which consistently hurts the employees. In the field there are employees making over 100k base salary while others make lower than 65k. I personally have been with the company close to 2 years and found out a new hire is making 10k more than me a year with zero experience in PEO. No leadership. Turnover in upper management is just as high as sales consultants. Within a year, expect to see half of your co-workers gone. The technology is crumbling and everyone blames someone else instead of taking accountability.

Pros

There is a path to success if you work really hard and are willing to stick it out for 3-5 years, but you must know how to play the corporate politics game and can't slip, have a little bit of luck, inherit profitable relationships, and prospect and develop new broker relationships. Benefits are good, and the director's I worked under were great people. If you're in your 20's, it's not a bad place to start your sales career and make decent money. Most deals only close if the benefits pricing is favorable, Always found the offsites and team outings fun.

Cons

Highly political environment.   Highly commoditized product. A fair amount of favoritism.  The prospecting infrastructure is horrendous and limiting for even the best hunters. Splits are the devil and cause resentment amongst sales reps. If you're over 30 and looking to build a career here, would recommend you find a different PEO as there is a 90% turnover rate with first year reps and within 3 years most new hire classes are gone. About 10-20% of sales consultants find success, and the variance of new consultants who find success is in the low single digits.  TriNet isn't exactly well positioned in the market and hasn't been for a few years.   Bad blood with clients and prospects due to decisions made a few years ago for short term business gains. The executive directors and upper management come from a different time in the business.  They found success in a completely different way and completely different market that was more beneficial. They lead with a stick and that trickles down.
