Pros

The opportunities that are afforded to you at TriNet and in this position specifically are far superior than any opportunities throughout Florida, and the US. The emphasis on personal growth, integrity, and entrepreneurship is phenomenal allowing you to essentially be as successful/unsuccessful as you want. TriNet also invests a lot into you as an employee.

Cons

Too many projects, and incentives can cause confusion and sometimes distract you from the real reason we do what we do, which is to impact small to medium sized businesses in a remarkable way.

Pros

The culture at TriNet allows and encourages employees to meet their potential while maintaining a great work/life balance. I like the team I work with and my management team is very supportive.

Cons

My major issue with TriNet is a lack of Red Bull. Red Bull is the life blood of a sales team and I feel it should be raining from the skies. (not literally of course, that'd make a mess)

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.
