Pros

I love my coworkers and manager. The people I work with everyday are great. TriNet Benefits, especially medical, are very rich. TriNet pays for a good portion of them for the colleague and family.

Cons

The executive & senior leadership team lack direction. We're a very top-heavy company with too many directors and VPs. Maybe it would be ok if we had automation to do the work, but we don't. We rely on manual processing, which requires people. So, like most companies, we look for ways to save and it's often at the expense of the teams that do the work. We could truly unburden ourselves by getting rid of at least half of the VPs and Directors and hire people that automate our processes.

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.
