Pros

This was so empowering and not just a work changing experience but also a life changing one. The company has really gone above and beyond to train and grow leaders in this company. Going through this program and receiving an amazing executive coach to walk with me through the journey has truly grown me and shaped me in not just being a leader but one with followers. This company has truly shown me they not only care what I do today but also invest in growing with them every step of the of the way. I am blessed to have this opportunity to work with an amazing company.

Cons

I don't have one.

Pros

Competitive total compensation- salary, bonuses, equity and benefits Room for career advancement and development, across departments and geographies Lots of nice, smart, driven team-oriented employees- no one really ever pulls the "hey that's not my job/department" stuff, everyone steps up to solve problems and help our customers be successful Reliable and stable (fast growing!) company (job security) Transparent, energetic and competent leadership team- lots of weekly/monthly access to leadership- to ask them direct questions, "no question off limits." They don't waffle or flip/flop on their goals and mission- it is one unified vision that we are all working hard to achieve Good live/work balance (most of the time) Encourages, sponsors and participates in volunteerism/charity/community outreach Great/easy employee technology for enrolling in benefits, printing W-2s, requesting vacation, submitting expenses, getting quick answers from HR, etc.

Cons

In my experience TriNet doesn't just hand out promotions, equity, big raises or bonuses, etc. You have to ask for them, sometimes repeatedly, and even demand them. If you are smart, work hard, collaborate well and deliver results then they will likely reward you to retain you. They often promote or hire people into management positions who do not know how to manage people. The result being that some good people leave. A lot of focus (and money spent) on the sales team so we can bring in maxim new customers. But this overloads the short staffed implementation and customer service teams who are chronically overworked. And more good people leave. In the long run it’s better to bring on less new customers, successfully, who have great first impressions and stay with TriNet as opposed to trying to cram thousands of new employees in our systems, resulting in bad on-boarding and service, unrealistic expectations and high client attrition. But since we are now a slave to the street (NYSE), we often focus on quantity over quality. We can do both if all departments get the money and resources they need and deserve, in order to best support what sales brings in. We are getting so big that it gets increasingly difficult to respond to and resolves customer issues quickly (since it often takes several departments to work on an issue, things get stuck, to the detriment of the customer/employee.
