Pros

Good benefits- medical, dental, and vision. They include short term and long term insurance. Small 401k match

Cons

For Sales- If you are seriously looking for work at trinet do yourself a favor and connect with past employees and also current employees (ask them to talk off record)- they will all tell you that is one of the worst places to work. The job is demanding but no more demanding than most sales jobs- this is a terrible excuse at why turnover is over 50% and employee morale at an all-time low. BULLYING and micromanagement are at a max, a constant everyday. A week or even a day doesn't go by when a certain sales executive doesn't threaten employee(s) for their job and security. Think mr. New York macho but with "smaller hands". This is widely known, so its funny to see HR's response, to many claims, why wouldn't somebody reach out to them- because nothing is ever done! Sexism, favoritism, & cronyism are rampant plus new ideas are disregarded. Do your research on this company, just don't jump at the pretty, initial packaging. The ship is sinking, the top have their rafts, the rest are left to drown- this is their culture.

Pros

Great Benefits, PTO, Health, Dental, Vision Funds monthly events to show the employees company appreciation Ask for employees input on how to make positive changes within the company Properly trains new hires Compensates well for travel expenses I have a fantastic CSA Manager and CSA Supervisor who I feel takes time to answer my questions and assist me when needed

Cons

Due to growth, communication to different departments can be difficult. Sometimes I do not know who to go to for a particular issue and get passed around until I find the right department. When returning from PTO I have double the work. *This was addressed in a company survey and they are working on resolving this issue. One possibility is to assign a colleague to assist and complete tasks while employee is on PTO.

Pros

They pay well, and overall most of the people are nice. They try and keep their employees informed...most of the time.

Cons

For and HR & Payroll company they are a mess. They have problems with the DOL, and during times of audit it's a hit and miss if anyone gets a vacation; so don't work in the finance department. HR is a disaster, they don't understand how to treat people and don't always make the best decisions. To make matters worse, their VP of HR resigned so their HR department is a wild card. The ethics hotline is just for show, they don't take is seriously.
