Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

I really enjoy working with the local implementation team. I trust them to make professional presentations and know they are client-focused. The service teams I work with have been very responsive and helpful when issues arise. They provide step-by-step instructions on how to do or find what I need.
I am very happy with TriNet overall.
I work with several companies to evaluate, select and implement third-party provider services for their payroll and HR needs. The companies I work with are relatively small, so they understand the value of having a partner in the field of payroll and HR. Without having to staff a department to handle these areas, they are able to invest their human capital in hiring more sales and production personnel.
  • TriNet handles all payroll processing, reporting and tax payments. These are standard functions, however in many if not most states, they report under their FEIN which eliminates the need for establishing and maintaining state unemployment and withholding tax accounts.
  • TriNet has access to multiple insurance providers and programs, so they can customize these offerings based upon the company's preferences. They are very thorough in the onboarding process to determine what those preferences are so they can make the proper recommendations.
  • TriNet has HR capabilities above and beyond what a small business owner would be able to provide. From employee handbooks, to benefit plans, to legal representation, they have experts in every situation.
  • The website is being updated, but until now I have not found it very easy to navigate.
  • It takes some training and familiarity to understand and create custom reports.
  • My clients have been able to hire more people in sales and production rather than administration.
  • TriNet provides stability and reliability in times of economic uncertainty.
It is difficult to compare companies and services, but I really appreciate the personal attention and care my clients get from TriNet.
The companies I work with range from 2 to 36 employees. Some of them have employees in several states. They appreciate the resources TriNet brings to the table. Most have insurance and retirement plans through TriNet. These are not competitively priced in the open market, but are affordable through TriNet.
