Avantages

The best part about working with TriNet was providing their solution to the customer. There is a great sense of partnership when working with the customer as they evaluate services for PEO and helping them understand the value proposition and benefits from going with the TriNet solution. Co-workers are very supportive and helpful but they are also very focused on trying to bring in their number that they only have so much bandwidth to help new people. I am writing this so that no one makes the mistake I made to risk your financial status and family life.

Inconvénients

I am a tenured sales rep and was recruited to become a sales consultant. I was told TriNet was an exciting place to work where you could make a career working for this incredible place. As I went through training it became very clear that they wanted an inside sales reps and their focus was a call center mentality. Management did nothing to help new sales reps onboard nor help motivate for success and only focused on short term results and meeting sales metrics. I spent ten months trying to figure out how best to grow an untapped market with no leadership support, horrible leads and with much criticism and speculation. I had a track record of success and failed at TriNet. When I was put on a performance plan the week before Christmas with 45 days to create a miracle, I was told "This should have happened a long time ago." More tenured reps told me it takes at least a year to eighteen months to build the business. It was too bad it did not work out but if you are looking to work somewhere for the long term, TriNet is probably not the place for you.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We appreciate all former and current employee reviews, as it helps us become a better organization. For even the most tenured sales person, the PEO sale can be difficult due to complexity. It can also take time to establish yourself in a new vertical or territory. We provide as many resources to empower our sales reps so they can experience success as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, it does not work out for everyone. We wish you the best in all your future endeavors. Thank you for your feedback and helping us improve our organization.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.
