Pros

Once a great company with good direction with focus on its employees. People do the right thing for their Clients. Good senior leaders in IT, Products, Operations, HR, Marketing, Not sure about Finance yet

Cons

Its rather simple, the new legal management team has run-off the people that actually know how to run this complex business. The legal team has been gifted authority to make it so difficult to do anything its crazy. I have never seen anything like it ever. Legal is micromanaging a multibillion dollar company yet are unresponsive to critical inquiries. People are afraid of legal and he apparently is a bully and openly refers to our Pres as a rodent and says he can fire anyone at any time./rather disrespectful and caviler/

Pros

There is a path to success if you work really hard and are willing to stick it out for 3-5 years, but you must know how to play the corporate politics game and can't slip, have a little bit of luck, inherit profitable relationships, and prospect and develop new broker relationships. Benefits are good, and the director's I worked under were great people. If you're in your 20's, it's not a bad place to start your sales career and make decent money. Most deals only close if the benefits pricing is favorable, Always found the offsites and team outings fun.

Cons

Highly political environment.   Highly commoditized product. A fair amount of favoritism.  The prospecting infrastructure is horrendous and limiting for even the best hunters. Splits are the devil and cause resentment amongst sales reps. If you're over 30 and looking to build a career here, would recommend you find a different PEO as there is a 90% turnover rate with first year reps and within 3 years most new hire classes are gone. About 10-20% of sales consultants find success, and the variance of new consultants who find success is in the low single digits.  TriNet isn't exactly well positioned in the market and hasn't been for a few years.   Bad blood with clients and prospects due to decisions made a few years ago for short term business gains. The executive directors and upper management come from a different time in the business.  They found success in a completely different way and completely different market that was more beneficial. They lead with a stick and that trickles down.
