Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

It manages payroll, time-off requests, and other HR functions.
  • Nothing stands out
  • Customer service is lacking in my opinion.
  • I feel information is presented in an unclear way.
  • I experienced expense reimbursement issues.
  • I also experienced issues setting up benefits.
I did have one good experience with TriNet support. However, it was dwarfed by the 3 negative experiences. I would not wish other remote workers to have to deal with the frustration that TriNet causes. There are many other better options out there in my opinion.
There are some UI issues but that is mostly due to poorly presented data in my opinion.
  • I believe I was shorted almost $1000 because in my experience I had to submit an expense in USD and it was paid in CAD without applying any conversion rate.

CharlieHR was superior in almost every way in my experience.
I have worked in tech for almost a decade and in my opinion, TriNet is the worst HR software I've used. I've had to connect with their support chat on 4 instances in my first 2 months of employment. One of these instances was handled professionally and to my satisfaction. The other 3 left me frustrated. Currency conversion should not be an issue for expense reimbursement. Activating benefits should not be an issue. The modal for leaving feedback on how a customer support chat went does not work in my experience, so instead of being able to give feedback that can be actioned, I feel like users need to resort to leaving negative reviews to get attention brought to an issue.
