Pros

401K matching and employee benefits package.

Cons

Everything else. The company has zero culture, zero work-life balance and no direction. The workload is impossible to keep up with and most of the time is just busy work with no real process in place. Management has zero experience in being people managers, and consistently throws their direct reports under the bus for their own mistakes. The lack of support and transparency at the company is unfathomable. HR, legal and the C-suite are well aware of the culture and management issues at the company expressed on this site, yet they take no action to make any changes or address them. Everyone is so focused on delegating work and not taking ownership that nothing ever gets done. Most of the people who work at TriNet have zero experience in their position or field. Therefore, clients leave and go to other PEOs because of the horrible customer experience the company provides. Just read their Yelp site. Offices are stale and non collaborative. The move to Dublin was such a spin to save money for the company. When actually it displaced a large amount of employees, forcing them to quit and look for work closer to home. Don't get me started on the pay for the work that lower level people are expected to manage/push out. For an HR company, they are unresponsive to employees, especially if you're in a position lower than a director. WILL THE PEOPLE IN THE HR DEPT PLEASE STAND UP?

Pros

Leader in the space with a highly recognizable name. Commission structure is very favorable if you can exceed your targets. Low penetration in the market means there is alot of opportunity. The company promotes from within so there is opportunity for advancement.

Cons

Dis-functional management team that isn't aligned to a common goal makes achieving sales targets a significant challenge. Too many acquisitions that were poorly integrated have stunted growth and the company seems to be more comfortable operating as an insurance company than a SaaS based services company.

Pros

If you work on either the East or West coast, this could be a good place to work as a sales person. Anywhere else in the country, it's a joke, especially in the Midwest.

Cons

My 18 month experience was horrendous. We experienced 100% turnover. The office environment is a joke. Complete lack of leadership. Absolutely no support from corporate.
