TriNet is an excellent full-service Payroll/HR company. My support team is very knowledgeable and has proven their worth in their follow through. TriNet has successfully lowered our costs from our prior Payroll/HR company while providing excellent service. I would definitely recommend TriNet to anyone looking for a new Payroll/HR company.

I am happy with TriNet and look forward to the enhancements suggested through councils and clients. There are improvements that can be made with clients not using the time off requested, customize for those of us that are small and have internal process that is simple. I am learning more about reports and analytics and find them useful.

From our initial interaction with TriNet, the team at Grace has been entirely satisfied. The TriNet team quickly became a trusted partner and they are consistently available to answer questions and assist with any needs. Additionally, TriNet has been very wiling to help us personalize our portal to provide an exceptional infrastructure for all our "people needs". We believe that our team comes first, and TriNet has supported us in that mission, from day 1! I recommend TriNet to ALL small/medium sized businesses! The peace of mind that comes with having a team of experts and an infrastructure that sets your company up for success, is invaluable! OG's!! For real! :)

Customer support is very responsive and the platform has improved its functionality and flexibility. The benefits enrollment was especially easy this year and very streamlined. I would appreciate additional free training classes be offered. I also appreciate TriNet's willingness to listen to my concerns and input for future design changes.

Remote-1st: TriNet handles the headache of setting up payroll and workers comp in all 50 states and most (if not all) provinces within Canada (TriNet does all of the quarterly and annual payroll reporting/payroll compliance tasks for US locations, which is a huge time saver); this allows talent acquisition to have a much larger talent pool. API Plug-ins: TriNet plugs into Carta, PAVE, Quickbooks, Google SSO, nearly every ATS, and they offer a lot of conveniences; you'll love not having to enter information in multiple places + engineers love self-service platforms to request time off or to change their contact information / direct deposit information.
401k: TriNet 401k administration in the TriNet group plan is first class white glove service. Nobody in HR ever complained that they missed doing the annual 5500; when you join the TriNet group plan, TriNet handles everything. Medical Benefits: Benefits are affordable and a much richer benefits offering than smaller companies would normally see, which is due to TriNet's larger employer group buying power.
TriNet has been my trusted partner at multiple companies since 2015. As a VP of HR at a fully remote SaaS company, I really appreciate all of the ways which TriNet saves our employees from busy work and helps to keep up with compliance changes as they roll out (SFHCSO reporting, automatically assigning the correct new hire anti-harassment training based on where the employee works, and making time off management effortless). I have first hand knowledge of how helpful TriNet is when a company is in the fast pace stages of startup growth.
TriNet is built for remote-1st, as they clear up so much of the pain points when supporting a widely dispersed US workforce. Amy ** is our Senior Client Relationship Manager; Amy is incredibly helpful, down to Earth, and a bit overqualified in terms of her wide knowledge base within people operations. I couldn't be happier.

My assigned rep, Sylvia, is great. Sylvia is very knowledgeable and helpful. Even in the rare instance that she's unfamiliar with a topic, she will point me in the right direction. She is always available and quickly responds to any inquiry I may need to reach out to her for.

TriNet has provided solid service in regards to payroll and the benefit offerings that a company under 100 employees is provided is unmatched. They also offer many additional services (expense, time and attendance as examples); however, these cloud-based systems do not mesh well, nor is there a SME to own the handoffs from end to end which can be frustrating.

I would like to recommend Trinet as a valued partner pertaining to our HR/Payroll needs. They have been with us for many years and have helped me keep our business on track. They have very knowledgeable people that can handle many issues. I plan to continue this relationship in the future.

\We started using this company about 4 years ago. They are quite literally the worst vendor we have ever had. Their service is pathetic. You can literally get better service talking to a high schooler that works at Subway. Nearly every single time you get info from them it is wrong. The American voices (sales) you talk to make promises their company doesn't keep. They outsource their call center who just wastes your time with non-answers. TriNet is an ABSOLUTE DUMPSTER FIRE. Stay away.

Customer service and ability to resolve issues worst I have experienced. Cost is high compared to other better solutions. When an issue arises it takes multiple people to resolve, no matter the issue. Would not recommend Trinet.

I honestly love working with TriNet. The Portal is easy to use. We have the best Payroll Managing Rep for our account; Katrina's customer support is the highest quality I could ever ask for-and always timely. She's also great at helping us with navigating which team we should speak to, depending on the question/issue as they arise. The price is commensurate with the services they provide us.

TriNet offers great services to help companies on the backend as they scale internal HR Depts. I'm very happy with the 1:1 support they provide with HR and payroll needs. The interface lacks a bit with employee profiles and storage capabilities however.

We are a small non-profit (<20 employees) that contracted with TriNet for our HR and Healthcare needs. Small businesses considering TriNet MUST UNDERSTAND that you are NOT being added to an insurance pool in order to receive better health insurance rates than you might find on an exchange or elsewhere. TriNet bulk purchases coverage from insurance carriers and sells it to you based on their own price formulas. They can raise your premiums by any level they want, each year with no explanation. You have no recourse or bargaining power.
After a few years with TriNet they raised our company health insurance premium 300%. Our employee healthcare premiums went up anywhere from 300% to over a 1000% depending on the employee! No explanation from our TriNet handlers. For reasons beyond our control, our employees had several medical claims in the previous year with TriNet--we suspect this is why our rates skyrocketed. We were forced to leave TriNet which was a huge cost in administrative time to rebuild our HR and Health Insurance infrastructure after years using their service.
What's worse, any other HR/Healthcare PEO's would not offer us estimates for coverage unless we provided them with previous years' premium costs. TriNet would not give us any information why our rates had been increased that we could share with prospective providers, effectively blacklisting our non-profit organization as we sought new coverage.
HR services were good for the first year or so with TriNet--we liked the personalized service we received from a dedicated staff member who we could easily contact when we occasionally needed assistance. After TriNet 360 started we lost the ability to contact our representative (which was one of the main selling points of the organization), every request was given a case number and handled by multiple nameless representatives and were often lost or took weeks, even months to resolve. The chat function can be useful for simple issues, but in my opinion the 360 system can be worse than dealing with a cable company. To be fair, the TriNet portal is robust and it centralizes and streamlines multiple functions of managing employees and has some good features for customizing. It would be great to use if the organization backing it up was more trustworthy and 360 more organized.

Communication in Payroll Jargon Language is not appreciated. Things should always need to be explained thoroughly, you shouldn't always assume that the client said is the same way you think. Why isn't 403B offered for not-for-profit clients, your 401K investment fees are too expensive for our employees to invest?

While my primary points of contact (Sharnel ** & Melissa **) are amazing and have made a material difference in our experience, the number of errors made by TriNet team members is unacceptable. Two recent examples include an error made by the LOA team that resulted in an employee not receiving any pay for one pay cycle and an error that we are still exploring that incorrectly reduced the balance of Sick time our employees were shown to have accrued. We count on TriNet for support on core functionality that is foundational to our employee's experience and, most importantly, livelihoods. TriNet has not met my expectations in this regard.

I don’t know how I could do my job without TriNet. Our company has grown from 60 employees to over 200 in the past few years, while our HR team has not. I rely on TriNet’s full service. Since TriNet has transitioned to a Shared Service model I do notice delay in response to cases at times, however I always appreciate the support of my client representative.

After the roll-out two years ago of Connect360 (and the advent of a pandemic) things were a bit chaotic, but it seems, TriNet has persevered. The rollout of new technology and better control of their Connect360 ticketing system has vastly improved their service offerings making their price increases in the Fall of 2021 more palatable.

My experience with TriNet has been horrible as an employee whose previous employer used to use TriNet. My overall experience has been that they only try to pass the blame rather than actually solving the issue. The customer support chat is useless. They sent my enrollment to my old address six months after the address had been officially changed. When I contacted the customer service he insisted that it was sent to the right address when I haven't even received my enrollment papers in my current address and my old landlord sent me a picture of the letter of enrollment that he received at my old address.

We joined TriNet in 2018 to be our PEO provider. Their service was often slow, but we had a Customer Account Manager that seemed to care about us. After he left we had several managers, and one or two were great. Then TriNet changed their service model, and service levels really went down. Our final manager was very unresponsive, so if I had issues, I had to follow up for months. We left in early 2022, and I am so glad we did! Our new provider is so great to work with. I'm still trying to get some things resolved from TriNet, and it is very frustrating. In addition, their medical insurance rates were high, as I found out when I started looking for a new vendor. Their payroll processing was fine, but the process was quite rigid and required a long lead time. I do NOT recommend them as a PEO provider.

We chose to go with a PEO in order to provide a good benefit solution for our employees. Within the first few weeks with Trinet we ran in to major issues with our payroll, several times we had to wire the money to Trinet because they incorrectly input our bank account. I had employees overcharged for benefits and it seemed every time I would call for assistance no one knew how to help. In addition, there seemed to be hidden fees for every single thing we needed help with. I would NEVER recommend this company.
