Pros

None.... absolutely none, this place is a JOKE

Cons

Where do I start... You will be MICROMANAGED like never before. We had something called “micro-day” where every hour we had to go to our manager and tell him exactly how many calls and emails we did for that hour, the entire 80 man sales floor. We did this several times during what is called Championship season which basically means you are forced to work a minumum of 95 hours per pay period. This starts in September and ends in December. THE WORST JOB I’VE EVER HAD! If you can survive your first year at TriNet Inside Salesgood luck! They pay 40% lower than the field while you are doing the EXACT SAME JOB! By the way they Forced us to write postive reviews on Glassdoor.

Pros

Benefits and PTO. Peer support and relationships are what keeps people from leaving.

Cons

HR is useless. Recruiters are a joke. If you are ever promised anything from your supervisor or manager make sure you get it in writing or it's your word alone... Pay sucks for people that have been there longer.

Pros

Some ok people to work with. Changing into a more fun place to be.

Company has gotten rid of some bad management over 2017. Expected to do your job with bad training from direct managers/no help.

Pros

The majority of colleagues are reliable and passionate about their job. It is truly the employees that have made TriNet what it is.

Cons

Managers need training on how to be a leader. If you don't have a manager who is proactive in help ing you attain your IDP then good luck. Another thing is that for a PEO the internal HR department is severely lacking. How can you have upper management professionals being investigated for things like harassment multiple times and still employ them.

Pros

Being an SDR was the perfect role for me straight out of college. I was expecting to make a lot less money than the provided and the SDR department compensates you for the work that you put in; so you control how much you make. The culture is also good. We have lots of incentive events like bowling and Busch Gardens. My manager is also great and you can tell that they really care about the employees.

Cons

Our quotas have gone up and they have taken away all of our easier lead sources. When I started we had access to low hanging fruit, but that has been removed and our quotas have gone up which feels unfair but they pros outweigh the cons.

Pros

-401K match vests immediately. -Some nice employee events. -Many great colleagues. -Promising new hires in senior positions

Cons

Where to start... - If you aren't sure if your potential boss is someone you'd like to work for, no matter what the offer is, walk away. It's not worth it. Who you report to has way to much power to make or break your time at TrNet. A number of managers, directors and VPs don't know how to manage people to an extent that it's hard to believe they were trained at all. They do not support their teams, there is heavy favoritism that is not based on performance and one in particular who is rude to his employees and can often be heard swearing and yelling inappropriate things on the phone. It seems that the longer you've been at the company, the more you can get away with. -CEO Directs do not communicate well with the company as a whole. -There is high turnover so some projects and processes lag or change so much that they no longer make sense. -The culture in the larger offices is generally positive but I've heard that the smaller offices can be unpleasant. -You will get emails almost every day saying that some part of the platform is down or underperforming. Knowing that made me uncomfortable in sales.

Pros

401K matching and employee benefits package.

Cons

Everything else. The company has zero culture, zero work-life balance and no direction. The workload is impossible to keep up with and most of the time is just busy work with no real process in place. Management has zero experience in being people managers, and consistently throws their direct reports under the bus for their own mistakes. The lack of support and transparency at the company is unfathomable. HR, legal and the C-suite are well aware of the culture and management issues at the company expressed on this site, yet they take no action to make any changes or address them. Everyone is so focused on delegating work and not taking ownership that nothing ever gets done. Most of the people who work at TriNet have zero experience in their position or field. Therefore, clients leave and go to other PEOs because of the horrible customer experience the company provides. Just read their Yelp site. Offices are stale and non collaborative. The move to Dublin was such a spin to save money for the company. When actually it displaced a large amount of employees, forcing them to quit and look for work closer to home. Don't get me started on the pay for the work that lower level people are expected to manage/push out. For an HR company, they are unresponsive to employees, especially if you're in a position lower than a director. WILL THE PEOPLE IN THE HR DEPT PLEASE STAND UP?

Pros

Overtime is allowed, contests weekly, happy hour hosted for new hires, lots of food, yearly sales kickoff is top notch

Cons

Micro management is at a level ten, leadership is very emotional, weekly meetings are fluff as leadership likes to hear themselves talk, every week there are new trainings or initiatives rolled out during the busiest time of year, favorites are played , not many experienced sales professionals or managers, definitely an entry level position
