Pros

Working with clients and providing them with the HR expertise and advice they need - when time actually permits

Cons

As the title states this organization is a complete CLUSTER. It really is a shame because the company makes money in spite of itself and the poor clients are none the wiser. If they knew the amount or lack there of actual thought that goes into the services that are presented to them they would be highly disappointed and probably pretty upset to know they are wasting their money and all the company is concerned about is them purchasing additional products! Also the level of the experience of the staff does not raise itself up to the standard of being considered consultants. If this is your first or second job out of school or you have moved around internally with no outside corporate experience you are not at CONSULTANT level. What good is having “certifications” (CPP, PHR, etc) of any sort if you cannot answer a basic client question when they are in need. There is no accountability within in a various departments - no one wants to assume being responsible which in turns wastes for clients and causes them to question the competence of the individuals they are dealing with. The Human Capital Consultant role is a complete joke. If you are looking to be a true Human Resources Consultant please do not apply for this role you will be highly disappointed. This role is focused on account management with a little bit of HR thrown in here and there because ultimately the clients do need you and look to you for that but the organization does not provide the appropriate setup or supporting team to allow this to happen consistently as it should. Here’s an example, why would you have a HR person contact a client to tell them they are behind in paying their invoice and if they do not pay they will be terminated. Where does that make sense for that to be a duty of a HR consultant? No where but since they company line is "The HCC is the face of the organization" it is justified. Completely absurd. The current HCC attrition rate speaks volumes to the amount of disatification with role, metrics and opportunities- several significant markets are currently experiencing high turnover - CA, FL, GA and NY. More turnover is certain to come. If it does not it is only because the individuals have gotten too comfortable to do anything else at this point in their careers or they really are just drenched in the TriNet Kool-Aid. There is little to no engagement from an overall team perspective.

Lack of opportunities to move upward or horizontal, long hours and too many clients, no work-life balance unless you are at a higher level.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us your feedback. A large percentage of new positions and opportunities are filled from within the organization. We currently have over 150 open positions available www.trinet.com/careers and all are open to current employees to apply within the organization. We realize TriNet has been in a period of rapid growth and with that can come difficulties managing work-life balance, but since hearing employees with similar issues, we increased PTO days and allows employees to periodically work from home. Our Great Places to Work Committee will be coming out with even more solutions we hope you will find helpful to your current work environment. Thank you for sharing your perspective with us.

Pros

The people and the clients. Top notch, dedicated, focused. The people genuinely work hard to support the clients and deliver great service. The clients are, for the most part, professional caliber and great to work with.

Cons

The leadership and management, especially within the human capital group. It's "their way or the highway". Many good people have left as a result but no one seems to notice. Some really talented people have given all they know only to be let go or leave in disgust.

We agree that the client services team is comprised of wonderful employees who are dedicated to doing excellent work. High attrition within any department is concerning to the company as a whole. We monitor these situations closely and address them as quickly as possible. We have been working on making TriNet a “Great Place to Work” by conducting our Trust Index survey to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. Based on feedback captured, we work hard to deliver results to departments and create colleague committees to address areas of improvement within our organization. Thank you for your feedback.
