Pros

Incredible benefits. Growth opportunity. A lot of hard-working, dedicated staff. Company is a money maker.

Cons

Work environment (cubicle farm). Company makes too many on-the-fly decisions without thinking things through. Growing too fast to put out quality product in time allowed.

Avoid Service Operations

Pros

The company is great. Burton has a great vision and a passion for what he does, and it's contagious. They offer wonderful benefits, and just implemented PAID maternity leave. Wow!!!

Cons

Service Operations is the worst department to work in. It is not family friendly or flexible, and your review is not based on performance. You can be perfect at your job, but have a couple of bad months of attendance in a row and you're out. It doesn't matter how valuable you are to your department, how much you know, or how great your contribution is. If you are more than 5 late, get sick, or have anything else unexpected come up, you're gone. This isn't true in all departments - only Service Ops! Their policies pit you against your team members rather than building the team. The policies encourage team members to police each other (I'm not referring to holding each other accountable - that is always welcome!), but bullying is also condoned. Communication is sorely lacking and huge decisions are often made in a vacuum with no regard to how they will affect the client, work site employees, or colleagues. They appear to care about their employees by offering great benefits (that's by design), but their impossible policies and overwhelming work loads prove otherwise. In some locations, it's impossible to move up, and there are absolutely no training opportunities.

Thank you for the detailed review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoy the benefits we offer, and feel proud of the new paid parental policy we recently implemented for the entire company. As an HR services provider, we understand there might be unexpected events that prevent colleagues from reporting for work. In no way do we condone workplace bullying. Please feel free to reach out directly to management or your HR Business Partner to address your specific personal needs as well as the issues you raised regarding your team members. At TriNet, we also take colleagues’ professional development very seriously. We have rolled out company-wide learning & development programs, and many colleagues have taken advantage of these free development opportunities. Please check out the internal site and look for the next upcoming class near you. We look forward to your participation.
