Pros

If you get the right mentor and make the right connections you can make a lot of money there over time. Large company with many employees that have worked there for long periods of time. You will meet some great people at TriNet.

Cons

Veteran reps have a lot of connections within the company and from their time at the company to help them achieve their number so they prospect differently than rookie reps have to (this is not a knock on them this is how things are supposed to be) the issue is that you don't have anyone that you can turn to for help to book cold meetings and build your network because successful people aren't hitting their number this way. You are expected to book cold meetings without anyone being able to help you figure out how to build your business because the way that companies are buying is different than when they did 4+ years ago. If you decide to work at TriNet go into it and soak in as much information as you can during training and do your best to create a book of business that you can reach out to when you first begin to get you through your first year. Also, be ready to spend countless hours scrubbing accounts and scouring the internet for new accounts. Reps will give you the commonly known places to find accounts but keep the information of how they are finding new accounts a secret because they don't want other people to get to the businesses not in sfdc before they do.

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.
