Really lost to the customer

Pros

It was a great place to work. Great people who care and want TriNet to succeed.

Cons

Upper management is really clueless to what their value is to the customer. They really believe their technology is the best, but it is lacking in some areas. The transition of SOI groups to the new platform was not handled well. The technology was not ready and the direction of the company is to have a single platform, but it was not tested enough. Some clients couldn't see paystubs online. While I know they were trying to fix things, the rollout should have never happened. Not trying to be negative, I really want TriNet (and other PEO's) to be a good value as they do so much for the client when things work. However, when you can't sell through channels when one group that a broker partner gives you goes south, it is hard to build momentum and trust for them to refer again.

Lackluster Company in Technology

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The technology side of the company is split between product and IT. There are a handful of skilled people scattered in teams throughout. You might get lucky and get to work with one or two. If you are very highly specialized or a junior technical person then this company might be a good fit for you.

Cons

It is a nearly complete seat-of-the-pants technology operation. For every "job well done" there are at least a dozen "look-what-happened". A handful of highly competent individuals are running task to task to keep the lights on. If you thrive in this setting then this may be the place for you. It is a toxic working environment. Most of the leadership are from HP and a large contingent are legacy IT employees. Most stubbornly resist change to current technology and technology management techniques (instead relying on vendor supplied knowledge), few demonstrate relevant knowledge in business, and few are ethical and competent communicators.
