Overall Satisfaction with TriNet
We use TriNet for payroll, benefits and workers comp. As a small, growing, 100% remote company, we were able to hire employees in many states very quickly and provide them with benefits.
- TriNet's minimum number of employees is 1. That was key for us as we were just getting started and needed to provide benefits in order to start attracting talent.
- TriNet keeps clients up to date on regulatory changes.
- TriNet allows quick hiring of employees in new states. (Quick, but as I found out later, not easy.)
- Website is unavailable during key payroll review times.
- No transparency into state filings-- impossible to get state tax records of our own payments.
- Difficult to get straight answers or explanations from staff.
- Administrative cost is very high for companies who don't need all included services like HR advising or recruiting.
- TriNet has caused me multiple migraines over incorrect payrolls, employee checks being sent to completely wrong addresses, no way to ensure our mail ends up in the right place.
- Employees have received tax documents related to other states and TriNet is unable to correct the mailing address on file.
We are switching to Gusto.
