- Setting up new employees is a fairly simple process
- Enrolling in benefits is easy and they walk you through each step.
- Reviewing payroll, submitting bonuses is straightforward.
Cons
- It isn't always clear what the compliance process is.
- In the unfortunate situation of laying off employees, the process isn't explained without getting help from a representative.
TriNet is the way to go

- They answer the phone for the company admin (me) pretty quickly
- They are good about following up on reference questions/emails
- TriNet provides all types of trainings and webinars for us to attend if we want to learn how to best utilize the system
Cons
- I have a hard time figuring out where things are and tend to click around a bunch
- If a person has HR realted questions, I think it's best to set up a time to discuss live instead of sending a very long email. Emails can be used to summarize the discussion instead of explaining a very long answer
- I think TriNet could do a better job at slowing down a bit during the onboarding process. It felt a little rushed and chaotic for me, as a newbie managing a bunch of different tasks for the team. Nonetheless, my implementation manager Denise Chaparro was AMAZING!
Great PEO System
