Pros

The only pro is that it is a big US company.

Cons

Endless cons: 1. HR is on contract and they give false promises. First they lied about the timings. I was told indian timings, but timings were mostly US. Then I was promised an appraisal next month if I join early. Denied after I joined. 2. Gave different joining date on paper and different to the IT team which froze the access to email and all the tools 3. Didn't apologise for the screw up 4. Got my email address unblocked 3rd day which was the last day for submitting documentation. Didn't give me time for documentation which happened due to their own screw up. 3rd day from my joining was my birthday. I had planned a leave, but I was doing the documentation instead. Ruined my birthday 5. There is no concept of onboarding. The employee is left on their own. 6. Whenever I went to the manager for any help as a new hire, the standard response I get every time is 'ask someone else'. 7. I asked the director that I'm unable to adjust with the timings because it is a combination of US and India. The response I got was "work 6-10 in morning, and 6-10 in the night" 8. When I for exit, there was no exit interview. There was a silence of 3 days. and 4th day HR calls me and says 'Is it okay if we make today your last day'

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.
