TriNet: A Great Place To Be

Sales development representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

TriNet is a great place to work. My co-workers are so much fun, and management is always more than willing to ensure you are satisfied in the work place and prepared for future growth. We're constantly hiring new people and expanding throughout the PEO industry. The opportunity is truly endless here and we're nationwide - so there's something for everyone! An excellent place to be if you're a competitive spirit.

Cons

We need more positive-minded and exciting people in our offices! I love good, friendly competition and I enjoy working each day with hard-working people who enjoy what they are doing...Hoping to have more of those types join the team.

Pros

Easy commute if you're living in the East Bay. Also, if you're South Indian, in Engineering over 90% of the team is South Indian, so it has a South Indian culture.

Cons

Disorganized, no career path, poor processes, and executive management that is either disconnected or does not care about its employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, nice offices to work in, CEO is friendly and as transparent as he can be.

Cons

The sales culture is horrific. They push for numbers by any means necessary, even if it means being dishonest or stepping on colleagues. Management really has no idea what they are doing. They make up quotas and expectations as they go along.

We strive in all ways to uphold the highest ethical standards and to conduct business in as open a manner as possible, something that you’ve noted our CEO exemplifies.
