Pros

-Health benefits and employee stock plan are decent -Flexible hours, willing to let you work remote if you aren't on the phones

Cons

- Pay is not competitive. - Management is horrendous. After the "CX 2.0" initiative, departments were restructured and some got lackluster management who seemed more focused on how many direct reports they got instead of caring about your department. - Culture is horrible. They promote a positive culture, but day-to-day that positive culture is constantly violated and nothing is done about it. Why promote a positive work environment if you are going to stand by and let it degenerate? - Stress. Everything is so stressful. There is never a chance to take a breath, and TriNet seems... happy about that? The company has been in a constant state of flux for a year now. Processes and requirements change every day. Change management is horrible. - Communication is lacking between all departments. - It's an HR company. Remember, HR is out to protect themselves, not you. That applies to the employees as well.

Pros

Benefits are good enough but could be better.

Cons

Leadership is incompetent. Colleagues are overworked and set up for failure. It’s a call center environment ( if they can’t admit it) Lack of team meetings and team building opportunities. No career opportunities unless you know who you need to know. Great culture on paper but not supported by facts. High turnover. Mandatory overtime. Colleagues are overworked and unable to even be nice with each other. Every minute of your day is scheduled. Unrealistic expectations. No sense of purpose at all. Customers are leaving daily and they are very difficult to manage on the phone due to the multiple issues.

It is not an ideal place to work

Pros

The company offers good benefits.

Cons

The company boasts and presents itself to be a great employer. It is far from truth, the best leaders are departed or departing. The organization does not value leadership qualities, it places value on people who do not bring a great culture, trust or a good work ethic. I have witnessed too many people departing for unfair, not well documented and nothing attributed to their performance. The CEO cares about his people, his middle managers do not carry the same values.
