One stop shop for most things HR

Highly positive. There is some variability when it comes to customer service, some reps are either new or not as good as others, and some TriNet people are outstanding beyond belief.

Ratings Breakdown

Functionality

Pros:

The sheer variety of options and capabilities is excellent. Very good insurance options offered throughout the country.

Cons:

Trinet tends to offer large company benefits, which is great, however, some of the competing providers are offering more tailored benefits typically seen in startup companies. It's only a minor issue.

Reasons for choosing TriNet

As a startup company with multi state HR requirements, we have to offer highly competitive employment packages that be on the level with larger companies. Trinet lets us do that without invoking the monstrous bureaucracy of dozens of individual benefits contracts with many providers and brokers. I've been there, and it's not a happy place. Trinet just takes care of what's needed.

Reasons for switching to TriNet

Trinet may not have offered the cheapest options, but, it had more capabilities in house, and it's actively growing capabilities and features in areas of interest to us.

Pros:

I liked the ease of use of the TriNet interface. Navigating to all aspects of the workspace experience is straighforward and comprehensive. From timekeep to payroll, taxes to benefits, this product is a complete solution for my business.

Cons:

I don't really have any complaints. Pretty much all my work-related, HR, tax reporting and payroll needs were easily found and actionable with minimal navigation in the software.

Reasons for switching to TriNet

Company was sold and new management made that change.

Thank you, Daniel, for this incredible review, and for being a TriNet customer. We look forward to continuing to contribute to the growth and success of your business.

Trinet was a bigger company. They didn’t want to spend time and effort for smaller start ups. Mergers are generally messy for their customers.

User friendly software for smaller businesses with one location.

TriNet is very user friendly, easy to navigate and great for a small business. It is intuitive and somewhat customizable. I can't say it was a great value for money. For less costs, we could have switched to UKG. We ended up leaving them for ADP due to having multiple companies that we needed to manage that TriNet was just not capable of doing under one dashboard.

Functionality

Pros:

I used TriNet when it was still Zenefits. Overall, I think the software was very easy to use for payroll and employee pay, benefits administration, performance reporting and tracking, onboarding, and employee management. I will say, the program was easy to navigate, which allowed for a very minimal learning curve, which I appreciated.

Cons:

I would not recommend TriNet if you have multiple companies that you need to manage within one system. This made payroll management and running reports quite the ordeal. I had to run the same report, in each company profile, and then combine the data. When you're doing this for 8 companies, it can be annoying. The other thing about TriNet was the payroll compliance issues. It would take a representative FOREVER to acknowledge receipt and then even longer for an answer. I had to stay on top of them constantly.

It’s extremely easy to navigate the site. Each section has its own “dashboard”, ie. PTO requests, Pay, Benefits, etc. It’s a great all in one solution for businesses of all sizes.

Just a minor detail, but the graphics, ie the category icons are a bit dated.

Pros:

The pricing was lower than that of others.

Cons:

I do not like the fact that I can not adjust my employees' time off balances. Since we are a nonprofit, we have many different funding sources, and we go by dollar amounts, while Tri-Net does not. This makes doing payroll so confusing when there is overtime.

Reasons for switching to TriNet

The pricing from ADP to TriNet was a substantial savings.

Good for small US subsidiaries but expensive, watch the minimums

TriNet served its purpose as our first US payroll solution and handled the basics competently. The low employee minimum made them accessible when we were just starting out. However, the cost became hard to justify as we grew, and their inflexibility when we temporarily dropped below minimums forced us to switch. Good starter solution for EU companies entering the US market, but be aware of the price premium and contractual requirements.

Pros:

Allowed us to run payroll for our US subsidiary starting at a low number of employees, which was critical as a German company expanding to the US. Benefits integration worked well and saved us from managing multiple vendors.

Cons:

Extremely expensive per employee. Software felt clunky and dated. Most critically, don't dip below their employee minimum.
