Pros

Passionate people, corporate evangelists preaching the healing powers of TriNet. This is a great place to work, but only in the corporate headquarter location, San Leandro.

Cons

- Destructive Narcissism, - Chaos due to growth, - California "Silicon Valley" mindset, - Premature drive to go public, executive team members "checking out" - No industry experience in the CEO direct team - Multiple org changes due to acquisitions

Thank you for taking the time and sharing your perspective as a long tenured employee. We definitely experienced tremendous growth – and some growing pains. Your input is valuable and helps us focus on what matters. To ensure TriNet’s success and continue our growth, we need everyone to feel empowered and heard. We monitor feedback on Glassdoor and other sites to respond in a timely manner. We care and seek feedback to help us become better. There is absolutely no directive to maintain a certain score and/or ‘adjust’ negative postings. Again, thank you for your dedicated service and for taking the time to let us know how we can improve. We are listening and we wish you the best in all your endeavors.

Pros

Flexibility, great coworkers, mostly interesting work, great variety and good clients. Efforts are made to appreciate high performing employees.

Cons

Company adding workload to various roles without adding more resources, in denial of the toll it takes on people - instead claiming people are resistant to change if they raise concerns

Thank you for sharing your perspective as a long tenured employee. As you can attest to, TriNet has experienced tremendous growth. We do take pride in our exceptional employees, and continue to look for new ways to recognize and reward high performing individuals in ways that are meaningful to them. Our Organizational & Talent Development team is in the midst of bringing change management courses to all colleagues in the organization and we will continue on that path as the year progresses. It is important to us that all colleagues, including mid-level managers and our front-line teams, have the appropriate tools to adapt to the fast-paced and ever changing environment at TriNet. We will take your input and share as appropriate to ensure it will be heard. Thank you for your dedicated service and for taking the time to let us know how we can become better. All the best for your future endeavors!
