Vantaggi

My management was very nice and respectful. Decent comp plan

Svantaggi

A rep is assigned to a Vertical business category and can only prospect in named accounts in that vertical. I only had 220 prospects to call on and was expected to make 200 touches (Phone/email) a week to this group! You spend all your time trying to talk to the same people. Eventually some prospects blocked my number! Also, you essentially have to pay someone to train you for the first year or so. You give up half your revenue and commissions to this person. I sold enough to make President's Club my first year but because of the rev share, my mentor made it and I did not. Mentors can be helpful, but expensive! My team had about 8 people, 3 were top performers, they mentored the new hires and got half the commission from these reps. It worked out great for those who could survive and benefit from having new people prospecting and splitting deals with you. A very low % of reps make it past 18 months, constant churn. Basically, it boils down to a near impossible situation, few prospects to call on, too many reps in the market, having to pay someone to train you. The nature of PEOs also leads to frustration of having deals declined for Benefits or the Benefits are too expensive. I would recommend you avoid this company as a sales rep unless you just want to collect a base and find a better job

Vantaggi

There is a path to success if you work really hard and are willing to stick it out for 3-5 years, but you must know how to play the corporate politics game and can't slip, have a little bit of luck, inherit profitable relationships, and prospect and develop new broker relationships. Benefits are good, and the director's I worked under were great people. If you're in your 20's, it's not a bad place to start your sales career and make decent money. Most deals only close if the benefits pricing is favorable, Always found the offsites and team outings fun.

Svantaggi

Highly political environment.   Highly commoditized product. A fair amount of favoritism.  The prospecting infrastructure is horrendous and limiting for even the best hunters. Splits are the devil and cause resentment amongst sales reps. If you're over 30 and looking to build a career here, would recommend you find a different PEO as there is a 90% turnover rate with first year reps and within 3 years most new hire classes are gone. About 10-20% of sales consultants find success, and the variance of new consultants who find success is in the low single digits.  TriNet isn't exactly well positioned in the market and hasn't been for a few years.   Bad blood with clients and prospects due to decisions made a few years ago for short term business gains. The executive directors and upper management come from a different time in the business.  They found success in a completely different way and completely different market that was more beneficial. They lead with a stick and that trickles down.
