Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

We use TriNet for our payroll, benefits, and 401k program. TriNet takes care of administering our benefits, which is a huge help to our company. They also manage our 401k program for our employees. Entering payroll in TriNet is fairly simple. I appreciate the fact that I can call them to get answers to my questions.
  • They do a great job at administering our company benefits.
  • They handle our 401k program and make it possible for us to offer this to our employees.
  • I still would like to see a dedicated representative assigned to our company.
  • The payroll approval process could use some improvement.
  • It would be nice to have a quicker, more personal response to emails sent to Connect 360.
  • I still struggle with Workforce Analytics and setting up a customized report.
  • I would like to see the headcount report go back to what it was before Workforce Analytics.
As I have stated before, I am not really satisfied with the customer service model TriNet has adopted, but I do like the fact that I am more likely to get an answer to my question usually within the same day. I really don't like talking to a different person each time I call. The payroll approval process is not always the same from pay period to pay period.
TriNet is pretty user-friendly, but there are a few things that could be improved. I have already mentioned the issue I have with Workforce Analytics, so I won't reiterate what I wrote earlier. I do like the free app that I have downloaded to my phone. I mention this to my new hires and encourage them to take advantage of it.
  • TriNet helps us stay in compliance with payroll law in the different states in which we have employees.
  • Onboarding is fairly easy for New Hires.
They have provided us with updates and have maintained a COVID resource center.

Not sure

Yes

Did TriNet live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of TriNet go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy TriNet again?

No

TriNet has adopted a less personalized service model, which is something I would like to see change. I rarely speak to the same person twice. My calls are usually answered by someone in the Reno, Nevada call center. To me, it would make more sense to speak to a representative who is in the same state and can answer state-specific questions. I do have to admit that there are times when I get an answer more quickly because I can call in and usually get someone on the phone within a few minutes; however, I wish it were more personal. Maybe a particular team could be assigned to a certain number of clients. That way, we have the possibility of speaking to the same person and developing a relationship with that representative.
