I know I've made a huge mistake. I worked for a strong competitor prior to TriNet. Left for more money and a $10K sign on bonus. TriNet continues to grow through acquisition and not organic growth. Blending employees from newly acquired companies seems to be a challenge. Each of these companies that are acquired has its own culture and pay structure. Once under the TriNet umbrella we all should be compensated fairly. Figure out a way to make this happen prior to just acquiring companies and not factoring in employees. Are these hostile takeovers?
I met a lot of neat people at new hire training class. One year later more than 75% have been fired and a few have left on their own. My suggestions is to contact previous reps via LinkedIn and see what they have to say about their tenure at TriNet. Maybe contact 20 or so across the country. Encourage them to be candid so you can make an informed decision. Here's the real deal - TriNet hire reps to populate SalesForce then fire them right around the 1 year mark. Initially it seems like this is the best job - a lot of flexibility, autonomy, generous expense account, etc. But the honey moon ends right around the 9 month mark.
There is no ramp up period either. PECs (TriNet SOI) are treated much differently- red headed step child! They are compensated much different too:
TriNet Passport has a $74k base + one year commission payouts. Ex: $12,0000 commission check paid out over a one year period for 1 year. TriNet SOI has a $60k base + 5 year commission payout. Ex: $12,000 commission check paid out over one year for 5 years.
