Thank you for the input. We are happy that you have a positive outlook toward your employment at TriNet. That is important to us. Regarding transparency, you should be aware by now that TriNet’s executive team has weekly, biweekly and quarterly meetings/events/podcasts open to all colleagues, many of which include open Q&A sessions where leadership answers any and all questions. And colleagues are even able to ask questions anonymously. If you feel your immediate management is not being as transparent as you would like, feel free to reach out to your HR Business Partner or the applicable department executive for assistance. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Pros

Empower Employees Treated with respect Manage based upon the needs of the individual Great Base Salary Residual Compensation encourages sales methods w/integrity Community Relationships and Reputation more important than a quick sale Great Benefits Promotes individual freedom and help to attain personal goals

Cons

Going through transition period, change brings chaos, chaos will weed out those who don't truly want to be a part of the organization. Which is a good thing. Went through a huge growth and hiring period, so dust still has not settled.

Thank you so much for your input and keen observations about change and culture. Interestingly enough, while we have been undergoing change to keep pace with a marketplace that is going through transformation on many levels, our culture is one that has actually grown organically over the more than 25 years of our existence as a company. At TriNet, we allow our employees to help shape our culture. For example, on Big Sunday, colleagues are encouraged to choose a local school or shelter to volunteer for and TriNet foots the bill. Also the Best Place to Work Survey is another example - Corporate HR takes action and makes improvements based on the results. We make every effort to welcome new colleagues to this culture that has proven to benefit our employees, our clients and the company. Meanwhile, we are genuinely pleased that you have found the many other aspects of your engagement here to be to your liking. We love to hear that!

Pros

Good work life balance, flexible work locations (i.e. remote work locations permissible for some positions & telecommuting). Reasonable salary structure. Encourages professional growth.

Cons

It's a huge public company. Working to be sure the auditors are happy is at times trying. Some of the policies and procedures required are ridiculous and add to the workload unnecessarily.

We love hearing that our efforts toward creating a great company culture - with “good work-life balance” - are appreciated. We assure you that those efforts will not cease. Please understand that it is very possible that what may seem to be unnecessary procedures really do have value somewhere along the line, perhaps someplace quite removed from their point of implementation. Nevertheless, when procedures do become more of a burden than a benefit, and are not legally required of us, we do try to make adjustments. If you have specific policies in mind that you think warrant changing, please bring them to the attention of your management team. They will likely look into them, or alternatively, offer a good explanation of why that policy is in place. Thank you for your insights!
