TriNet Reviews

Pros

I've been with TriNet for about 5 years now and this is a great place to build your career. I came on with little experience and was met with great coaching, dedicated mentors and a strong team culture. Folks here genuinely want to help you succeed. Needless to say, you have to be a self-starter. Nothing is handed to you, but we do a great job of team-selling and group coaching. Another reviewer mentioned a toxic environment with shark tank bullying sessions. That couldn't be further from the truth. Shark tanks (role plays) are done by mentors, leaders, peers etc. with the sole purpose of helping each individual overcome their fears/weaknesses in public speaking and running a confident meeting. Those shark tank sessions were absolutely vital to my success and prepared me for the toughest of meetings. I wouldn't trade that experience in for anything and I think anyone who would take issue with those sessions is not taking his/her personal and professional growth seriously. And for what it's worth, I've never heard a group of people celebrating or making fun of someone who had a rough meeting. Not once in 5 years.

Cons

Any company that is growing to the size that we are will have growing pains. That's to be expected. I'm of the belief that giving feedback and trying to fix things is the winners' mentality - not complaining. My experience has been that YOY, we are only getting better and more efficient - especially around how we service our 17k clients. Sure, I get frustrated from time to time, but when given the feedback, our team leaders improve case over case.

Pros

I have had the best experience so far at TriNet. I joined at the beginning of this year and was humming along, then suddenly, COVID hit. I have been at other companies where less intense situations occurred and saw the company respond poorly whereas the way TriNet took action surpassed my expectations. The way they've accommodated for our personal home situation, quickly pivoted to setting us up virtually and have constantly checked in on us to see how we're doing, encouraging us to put our family first etc. I especially appreciate the go to knee jerk reaction wasn't to lay off or furlough colleagues, if anything looking for creative ways to move talent around as the business needs demand. Prior to COVID, are there opportunities for more efficiency, better communication and collaboration? 100% yes, however, I challenge you to find a company that executes all of those elements flawlessly...just like no one is perfect, neither is a company. What I do appreciate is that our ELT is not blind to our opportunities to improve as a business as they embrace ideas and solutions to make TriNet better. In fact, it's encouraged! Did I mention our benefits are great? Not to mention we have an annual party (not holiday as to not interfere with family time or create more stress during that time of the year...what an awful company to be so thoughtful!), incentive programs for those that go above & beyond and healthy work/life balance. While not perfect, I would much rather work for a company that is self-aware and is trying to do better than one that flat out doesn't care will do what they want.

Cons

Take a look at some processes to ensure they still make sense for what we need today and beyond. Additionally, it never hurts to have stronger cross-departmental collaboration, especially now more than ever in our mostly virtual environment.

Pros

public company that had been in growth mode

Cons

overly focused on numbers and often times did not feel like clients or employees were the priority

Pros

Great place if you are a young, white, male.

Cons

Horrible HR Practices. Bias prevails. CHRO is puppet to CEO and promotes discriminatory practices.
