Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

We use TriNet across our organization, primarily to manage payroll, PTO and benefits.
  • Easily navigable platform.
  • Payroll entry is straightforward.
  • Compliance.
  • Connect 360 is too impersonal while HR, benefits and associated issues are very personal issues. Before Connect 360, TriNet was a "partner"; now they are a "vendor."
  • PTO management - flexibility of plans; adding PTO to employees.
  • Clarity of reports and associated purposes - When looking for certain accounting-related files for tax purposes, it was unclear even what purpose the reports served. Finding the one I needed and the data within it, was very difficult.
Connect 360 is impersonal. Even when I speak with an individual, I have no idea who the person is, why he/she is my contact for an issue or if I will ever be in touch with them again. I would much prefer one or two "go to" people. When you ask about "how the TriNet team has helped you," I cannot say I am aware of any "team." Just a "user interface."
The platform is relatively straightforward. It provides a lot of functions.
  • Time savings
  • Stress reduction
  • Benefits cost reduction and increase in choices
  • Employee self-service
Hit or miss... I did not feel like TriNet was "there for me." In a small business context, the HR/benefits provider needs to be close by while TriNet is not really a partner anymore.
I found cheaper options but was confident in TriNet as a company. Your core business seemed like an "add-on" for others.

Ardelle Stoute did a great sales job as did Hope Webber as our customer service interface.

Managing payroll, PTO and benefits.

TriNet should not spend resources on the partner (discount) programs. Stay focused on your core business.
