Pros

nothing to add at this time.

Cons

Having come from IT/software for the most part, the leadership of TriNet do not truly understand the PEO industry. This is a service platform, not a cloud platform. Sales leadership is out of touch and doesn't care about the success of the sales reps. client attrition is a huge problem.

Pros

They pay well, and overall most of the people are nice. They try and keep their employees informed...most of the time.

Cons

For and HR & Payroll company they are a mess. They have problems with the DOL, and during times of audit it's a hit and miss if anyone gets a vacation; so don't work in the finance department. HR is a disaster, they don't understand how to treat people and don't always make the best decisions. To make matters worse, their VP of HR resigned so their HR department is a wild card. The ethics hotline is just for show, they don't take is seriously.

Pros

Benefits and PTO are in line. The building is kind of nice and they have a few vending machines that help and oh yea, free coffee.

Cons

You are going to find the same old corporate BS that you find in every corporate job. There is a LOT of drama and back stabbing. The people I were "Honored" to work with were well seasoned. Working in the IT department I saw many older (over 40) people dismissed only to be replaced by younger, "in-click" people. Even some in mid management positions who didn't fit in the group were replaced. This seems to be systematic and most likely illegal but honestly, if you take a look at the IT department (Helpdesk, workstation, tier-2 and various other teams) you will honestly notice a generation gap. Department managers don't seem to notice, nor do they care. It's corporate after all but it is also obvious and very sickening to watch.
