TriNet reviews

You'll notice that all the glowing reviews come from people in sales positions. That's because any other role is considered second-class. When Trinet had their yearly 'all-hands' conference soon after acquiring another PEO, only the sales people were invited - while there, the attendees were encouraged to work together to create their new culture, but since only sales people were invited, only sales voices were valued enough to give input. How incredibly telling.

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?
