Pros

There's no denying that TriNet gives back to the communities where they have a sizable presence. I'm going to a tropical location, all expenses paid, and should come back with a nice tan for smashing quota! Our customer service managers are TOP NOTCH. If it weren't for them, retention would be extremely horrid! Caffeine is supplied, major bonus to me. Stock options if you qualify! Did I mention the tan?

Cons

I may be getting a nice tan, but I know for a fact our service teams DESERVE something on par! Inter-brand squabbles - fighting over who is in charge of what opportunity or SIC code. Same team right? Everyone seems so concerned about pecking order. Let's worry about our company values and clients! We had great sales leads on competitors clients at one time, and those tenured sales mgrs who were connected or smart (or tipped off in advance that they were going away, albeit temporarily) made many copies and distributed to staff like I did. I give these to newbies who are getting frustrated, and as rewards. Bad leads now: correction horrible leads now. Underwriting isn't as aggressive as it used to be. For a tech company, we need bleeding edge work tools. Our antiquated tools don't cut it anymore.

Pros

Great employee benefits and technology.

Cons

A lot of turnover with new employees. They are enticed with decent salaries and a sign on bonus of $9k. Looks attractive but you must generate your own leads. Slow sales cycle and commission structure is horrible for PECs. You don't get your full commission upfront. It's divided into equal payments for 1 year. The company recently implemented a mentor/mentee program. Your first 5 deals must be split with a mentor. Unrealistic expectations your first year (almost unattainable). This position is treated as a payroll sales position. Therefore, information entered into the CRM (SalesForce) is inaccurate and garbage. The weekly metrics are 5 FM (first meetings). To get off the radar folks enter bad leads into the CRM. Garbage in then garbage out. Get the picture?
