      Pros

      I came to TriNet with limited knowledge of many of the processes, and colleagues have always been happy and willing to sit down or call me to explain things. It's great knowing that I will always have my questions answered. Additionally, there are a lot of great perks and incentives for working hard, which makes me excited to continue working here!

      Cons

      With such a large company, there tends to be a lack of communication between the multiple departments, which can sometimes cause confusion.

      Business Decisions that may Work in Silicon Valley May Not Work Nationally

      Pros

      HRIS is a nice selling point to prospects. Specific target markets such as Venture Capital, Green Tech, Bio Tech and the Organic Foods works well in California.

      Cons

      C-Level executives "Think Locally and Act Globally". Thinking locally will not always transfer to other markets. Management is focused on increasing revenue and client size through acquisition. Organic growth has been horrible, along with the client retention associated with acquisitions. Most markets outside of California have had over a 200% turnover in the sales force in the past 3 to 4 years. Most acquired markets have lost 100% of their client base due to a stubborn "one size fits all" perceived solution by Silicon Valley Executives. Clearly, TriNet management was unprepared for the Gevity acquisition of 2009 (simply review client and internal employee retention rates). Let's face it, they acquired a company (Gevity) that was 5-6 times their size. The acquisition and overall performance woes continue today based on Senior Management turnover. Who is left? Burton by my count. I feel as though "The Emperor Has No Clothes".

      Thank you for taking the time to voice your concern. We learned many, sometimes difficult, lessons with the acquisition of Gevity and have taken many steps since to make corrections where necessary. We have experienced tremendous growth and change in the years following the Gevity acquisition, and take pride in the fact that there has been extremely minimal client loss due to more recent acquisitions. We learned from the past and are dedicated students to the future that lies ahead of us. We sincerely appreciate your feedback.
