TriNet is looking to grow both through new clients and through acquiring other PEO companies so that we can provide HR services to the growing number of small businesses existing in an increasingly complex environment. Yes – we do want to become the market leader! While we do acquire companies we also stay very focused on our existing clients and ensuring they receive stellar service. 2012, was a year of tremendous growth with a new VP of sales who has done a fantastic job to ensure that the TriNet sales team represents the best and brightest. If you are a current employee, please give us an opportunity to address and hopefully resolve the frustrations you’re experiencing. Please reach out to our VP of sales or contact the HR department. We know that no place is ever perfect, but we recognize that and are working on it. For example, you may have seen we're working with the “Great Place to Work” to survey colleagues and create committees to continue to improve TriNet. We hope you'll participate in those initiatives and surveys to help us become a better company! Thank you!

Pros

Good people - treated nicely Good technology, generally speaking, I helped build much of it New design of facility is nice Good location (San Leandro is not Oakland) Parking is close to the building

Cons

Tough time keeping the top performers Senior leadership in Technology disconnected from the rest of the company (lone wolf approach) Running aimlessly down a path with no reasonable time to accomplish Seem to be making alot of money based on dividends to owners (promoting no call to action) They put on a good show in the interview process but dont deliver the promise

Thanks for your feedback and sorry to learn about your “cons”. While we can’t speak for your specific situation and concerns, we can assure you we focus on making TriNet a “Great Place to Work” by conducting our Trust Index survey to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. Based on feedback captured, we work hard to deliver results to departments and create colleague committees to address areas of improvement within our organization. If you are still a current employee, we encourage you to participate in the “Great Place to Work” initiatives to voice your observations regarding the difference between the information you received in the interview and the experience you're having.

Pros

Other areas of the company are solid - stay away from IT New facility design in San Leandro People want to do the right thing CEO and COO are good drivers for the company Compensation is decent but in the valley its all decent Diverse ethinic backgrounds in IT makes it nice Hours are not bad compared to other companies in the valley

Cons

CIO not a good leader not quite sure how he stays alive Not focused on the customer but instead trying to figure out the system - its embarassing Unfortunately the leaders encouraged the key knowledge holders leave the company without knowledge transfer making it nearly impossible to upgrade the systems without major issues "rookie move" Many of the IT jobs seem to be moving to other locations outside CA - another CIO inititive No clear direction past 30 days - communication is siloed and just focused on today Quality Assurance is laughable

Our goal is to encourage a performance driven culture at TriNet through recognizing and rewarding the best and brightest. We would like to encourage you to contact HR and discuss what you're seeing and experiencing that leads you to believe we're supporting low performers. Your input is valuable and we need it to become a better organization. Thank you!
