Pluspunten

Great Employee Benefits. Once a year annual sales trip for all the sales staff.

Minpunten

I know I've made a huge mistake. I worked for a strong competitor prior to TriNet. Left for more money and a $10K sign on bonus. TriNet continues to grow through acquisition and not organic growth. Blending employees from newly acquired companies seems to be a challenge. Each of these companies that are acquired has its own culture and pay structure. Once under the TriNet umbrella we all should be compensated fairly. Figure out a way to make this happen prior to just acquiring companies and not factoring in employees. Are these hostile takeovers? I met a lot of neat people at new hire training class. One year later more than 75% have been fired and a few have left on their own. My suggestions is to contact previous reps via LinkedIn and see what they have to say about their tenure at TriNet. Maybe contact 20 or so across the country. Encourage them to be candid so you can make an informed decision. Here's the real deal - TriNet hire reps to populate SalesForce then fire them right around the 1 year mark. Initially it seems like this is the best job - a lot of flexibility, autonomy, generous expense account, etc. But the honey moon ends right around the 9 month mark. There is no ramp up period either. PECs (TriNet SOI) are treated much differently- red headed step child! They are compensated much different too: TriNet Passport has a $74k base + one year commission payouts. Ex: $12,0000 commission check paid out over a one year period for 1 year. TriNet SOI has a $60k base + 5 year commission payout. Ex: $12,000 commission check paid out over one year for 5 years.

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.

Minpunten

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.
