Pros

Empower Employees Treated with respect Manage based upon the needs of the individual Great Base Salary Residual Compensation encourages sales methods w/integrity Community Relationships and Reputation more important than a quick sale Great Benefits Promotes individual freedom and help to attain personal goals

Cons

Going through transition period, change brings chaos, chaos will weed out those who don't truly want to be a part of the organization. Which is a good thing. Went through a huge growth and hiring period, so dust still has not settled.

TriNet Response

Thank you so much for your input and keen observations about change and culture. Interestingly enough, while we have been undergoing change to keep pace with a marketplace that is going through transformation on many levels, our culture is one that has actually grown organically over the more than 25 years of our existence as a company. At TriNet, we allow our employees to help shape our culture. For example, on Big Sunday, colleagues are encouraged to choose a local school or shelter to volunteer for and TriNet foots the bill. Also the Best Place to Work Survey is another example - Corporate HR takes action and makes improvements based on the results. We make every effort to welcome new colleagues to this culture that has proven to benefit our employees, our clients and the company. Meanwhile, we are genuinely pleased that you have found the many other aspects of your engagement here to be to your liking. We love to hear that!

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.
