Pros

Great pay, good benefits when you are a full time permanent employee.

Cons

No real training. My manager had me sit and watch another employee for 2 days and then had me go to work. There were things I had to do that I did not know how to do and processes I did not know about.

We appreciate your candor regarding your experience and we regret that you did not avail yourself of the opportunity to address these issues with your immediate manager and/or your HR Business Partner. We are currently creating more training curricula, perhaps in the very area where you felt we were lacking. For example, we now offer what we call Spark! and Ignite! Learning Journeys. Spark! is geared toward people managers and Ignite! is geared toward all company professionals. Both development tracks include a variety of content - beyond just workshops - aligned with the company's strategy and business growth. In addition to the communication and management skills developed in these programs, we do offer training for specific jobs and we do encourage employees to openly address such issues with their immediate managers and/or their HR Business Partners. That way, we can proactively address the issues and give our employees everything they need in order to succeed and be happy at TriNet.

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.
