Trinet is used across our whole organization. It has facilitated secure record keeping, communications/reminders to employees and benefits enrollments such as healthcare and retirement savings.
- Trinet's reporting tools are really easy to use.
- SSO is available for integrated providers.
- Customized reporting is available which is a plus for companies utilizing enterprise resource planning software programs.
Cons
- I cannot think of any, Trinet is a great software but not only that their staff is extremely helpful whenever you might have a question.
Great service with a very user-friendly online experience

WE USE TRINET FOR PAYROLL ONLY.
- Customer service: always get an answer right away.
- Implantation staff: really well trained.
- Software: user-friendly.
Cons
- Insurance: as I have some complaints about the provider.
- When we have some more intense, precise questions sometimes it takes times to answer.
- WE HAVE AN EMPLOYEE WITH A TAX ISSUE. IT WAS A TRINET ERROR, THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.
Good qualities, but room for improvement!

TriNet is only used for our US entity, even though we are a global organization with offices in Europe and China. TriNet is used for payroll, employee benefits, workers compensation, etc. I am the authorized account user who also enters new hires into the system, I9 forms, etc.
- Ease of Payroll reporting, deadlines, invoice notifications, etc.
- Appreciate the advance notice of holiday closings, reporting date changes, etc.
Cons
- The previous TriNet representative for my company provided outstanding customer service, and responded promptly to my requests for assistance, especially when I first began working for my company and TriNet was completely unfamiliar to me. After she accepted a promotion within Trinet, I must admit that the response time from my new representative has decreased dramatically, and I find myself very frustrated by that. She is always very polite, professional and apologetic, but it does not resolve the fact that a recent email inquiry went unanswered for over 10 days, even after I sent a second email, inquiring about the delay. Unacceptable in my opinion. I tried to access the information I needed from the website, (TriNet passport) but was unsuccessful, and thus, was forced to wait for her response. I understand that unexpected issues arise in the workplace, but there should be a protocol in place to continue to address client requests while TriNet works to resolve internal issues.
