Fun environment w/ colleagues. Benefits.

Minpunten

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Fails big time to teach their sales process - if they even know what their's is. It's a long sales process with too many internal changes. Constantly was told to do something completely different than what the other trainer/manager instructed to do. Going in as a newbie in the industry, I was reliant on the expertise of my trainers to learn. Constantly being told to do something completely different just caused confusion, and frustration. I succeeded due to me ignoring the chaos and stuck to what I learned from my previous sales job; which had an exceptional 6 week training program (compared to TriNet's 1 week Grand Slam.) Their HR is a joke. Although, benefits are good. Purely numbers driven. People are not people - they are numbers in TriNet's world. Had an excellent run for a number of consecutive weeks (over a month) where I exceeded sales numbers. As soon as my numbers dipped, my head was on the chopping block. At the same period in time, my field reps department had been close to a 100% wipe out. I mean... it's bad when there's a 100% turnover. BTW... You work in a symbiotic relationship with your field reps to hit your goals. The SDR dept and field dept do not work in synergy... wonder why (sarcasm!) They say to never blame a job on their lack of training... but IT'S THEIR LACK OF TRAINING!! Constantly... and I mean CONSTANTLY moving the ball and telling people to do something different day in and day out is going to lead to failure. This level of change is NOT what general companies mean when they describe "must be adaptive to change" in their job description. This level of hamster wheeling is abuse. And if you have to run the hamster wheel THAT MUCH - it means there are serious inefficiencies in your internal sales process. And there are A LOT of inefficiencies. "Churn 'em and burn 'em" is their reputation with C-Level execs in other companies. Toxic environment! You have been warned. Your stress level will likely sky rocket and health will probably be affected. Not joking.

Pluspunten

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.
