Pros

HRIS is a nice selling point to prospects. Specific target markets such as Venture Capital, Green Tech, Bio Tech and the Organic Foods works well in California.

Cons

C-Level executives "Think Locally and Act Globally". Thinking locally will not always transfer to other markets. Management is focused on increasing revenue and client size through acquisition. Organic growth has been horrible, along with the client retention associated with acquisitions. Most markets outside of California have had over a 200% turnover in the sales force in the past 3 to 4 years. Most acquired markets have lost 100% of their client base due to a stubborn "one size fits all" perceived solution by Silicon Valley Executives. Clearly, TriNet management was unprepared for the Gevity acquisition of 2009 (simply review client and internal employee retention rates). Let's face it, they acquired a company (Gevity) that was 5-6 times their size. The acquisition and overall performance woes continue today based on Senior Management turnover. Who is left? Burton by my count. I feel as though "The Emperor Has No Clothes".

Thank you for taking the time to voice your concern. We learned many, sometimes difficult, lessons with the acquisition of Gevity and have taken many steps since to make corrections where necessary. We have experienced tremendous growth and change in the years following the Gevity acquisition, and take pride in the fact that there has been extremely minimal client loss due to more recent acquisitions. We learned from the past and are dedicated students to the future that lies ahead of us. We sincerely appreciate your feedback.

Pros

You come in when you please and you leave when you please and no one says anything as long as you are continually producing your expected ROI. a++++ benefits and commission structure.

Cons

Turned into a boiler room. Management never manages their employees just does behind the scenes work. You have to make it on your own, with very little guidance.

Pros

TriNet really cares not only about the growth and development of it's employees professionally but personally as well. It has been eye opening to learn more about the PEO world and about myself in a professional atmosphere. My management team has worked diligently to ensure I meet the requirements needed to obtain my career path and are continually making sure I have the tools necessary to succeed.

Cons

If you have a lack of work ethic this is not the company for you. It has incredible benefits and rewards for your hard work but it does require a drive to succeed like none other.
