Pros

Great team and manager and good pay.

Cons

Company is continually changing and has completely remolded their processes internally and externally. Externally, instead of a dedicated Partner for the client to reach out to, they have to call a 1-800 number. Internally all positions have been revised, much higher work load that is impossible to balance and they laid off more than 50 employees 3 months ago.

Pros

Wonderful direct manager, good benefits and supportive of my life goals.

Cons

Senior leadership of department and above, were a lot of secrets and lack of leadership. Set a low bar for morale in the team which leads to high turnover in the role which takes 6 months to learn. The type of place if you lose someone it impacts the whole team as everyone’s workload will increase for 6 months or so. Also diversity is a challenge, where their celebration of pride month is to send the company a link to the Wikipedia page on Pride.

Too much change

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and pay. I doubt I would make as much or have the benefits and perks that I have elsewhere. But there is a price to this. Middle managers are great. They care about their staff and the customers. If you can handle rapid change, long hours and want to pursue a career path in PEO, it may be for some people. But you really have to be into the culture.

Cons

Way too much chaos and change. Work/life balance suffers. Employees have workloads changed without any conversation with them. Upper middle and upper management act like they care but are so metrics driven that employees are no longer people, but rather a set of skills and abilities to be stuffed into positions. Stress levels are killer if you can't handle the changes and the metrics. People Matter is the company ad campaign...but I am still trying to find out who those people are...because they aren't my colleagues or me!

Pros

* Flexible * 7 of 10 people culture also depending on manager, I have heard worse * Training is pretty good

Cons

* Very expensive * Too many cross-functional teams * Too Hard to get a deal to win regardless of solution, medical always comes back more expensive * Implementation can be a nightmare thus losing deals that were already tough to bring in. * TriNet branding is not a name orgs recongnise * Sales is very low for a tech company in the bay area

I was able to work remotely.

Cons

Over promise of bonus amount, impossible to achieve metrics, high stress, lack of employee support yet micromanaged, no work-life balance, favoritism, managers do not help with career development. Overall, poor leadership and culture, lack of diversity and strong and unnecessary micromanagement,

People (DON'T) Matter

Pros

Pretty good money, great benefits, some amazing people, managers included. Culture was awesome back in the JB era. With WMC, it deteriorated quickly. VERY QUICKLY.

Cons

Enjoy stress, pointless KPIs, redundant check in video calls (5+ daily), and a "leadership" team that has no trust in their employees? This is your place! Major management changes in Outside Sales, Inside Sales (ISO) and the C suite. People are jumping ship to work for competition in an office while Trinet is still remote. If someone is willing to make the move from a remote position to an in-office role (with the same pay) during a pandemic, they can't be doing too many things right.

Pros

Maybe good if you really want a smaller company and you get a good manager.

Cons

I never realized how important a "culture fit" was until I worked here. They don't appreciate a healthy work-life balance. All issues I brought to my manager were immediately turned back around onto me without any resolution.
