TriNet Response
13y
TriNet is looking to grow both through new clients and through acquiring other PEO companies so that we can provide HR services to the growing number of small businesses existing in an increasingly complex environment. Yes – we do want to become the market leader! While we do acquire companies we also stay very focused on our existing clients and ensuring they receive stellar service. 2012, was a year of tremendous growth with a new VP of sales who has done a fantastic job to ensure that the TriNet sales team represents the best and brightest. If you are a current employee, please give us an opportunity to address and hopefully resolve the frustrations you’re experiencing. Please reach out to our VP of sales or contact the HR department. We know that no place is ever perfect, but we recognize that and are working on it. For example, you may have seen we're working with the “Great Place to Work” to survey colleagues and create committees to continue to improve TriNet. We hope you'll participate in those initiatives and surveys to help us become a better company! Thank you!

Pros

Great people and business opportunity. Excellent customers who are a pleasure to work with. Tremendous opportunity to contribute and help grow the company.

Cons

Total lack of cooperation among leadership which creates fiefdoms. Various fiefdoms wage wars creating an atmosphere of "favoritism" regardless of actual performance. No real commitment to actually improving how things work.
