Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

It is used for all payroll & benefits for all staff so all staff go in as an employee. I mainly use it as manager from the HR/Finance dept to run payroll, etc.
  • Personal Rep for all manager and employee questions.
  • Benefit negotiation keeps costs down and a good assortment of choices for an employer to choose from.
  • Great that all the payroll Federal/State filings are done by TriNet as we have staff outside of our HQ area and each state has different requirements.
  • Online system is very good with intuitive use and most answers to questions from staff can be found on the site.
  • Would be nice to be able to generate ad hoc reports more easily - the my reports section isn't easy to work with.
  • More HR back-up resources and training - although some new features have helped with this.
  • It is confusing that there is a small TriNet employee handbook online as we have ours and we already include all of the TriNet information there.
Jess Chapnick is always quick to respond and if he is out I know he has back-up. When I was working with Ambrose before it merged with TriNet I had great customer service when we signed up and still feel that is very good when I have requests.
A few issues but the online system is very good and always appears to be improving.
  • Reduction of time spent on payroll and reporting.
  • Keeping quality benefits for staff within reasonable costs.
For organizations with limited staff it is great if you can't fully staff your own FT HR person and if it is a smaller office where it is hard to negotiate for good benefits. However, they don't provide enough support like some other PEOs do.

For bigger offices the payroll functionality online may be good but I would think in house HR is better.
