Pros
Constant development. Lots of support available at all times. Leaders are very knowledgeable and helpful.
Cons
Too many different KPI's to focus on, sometimes they seem to impact each other. Perhaps simplifying these to create a better balance.

Pros
There are endless opportunities to deepen your knowledge base, to gain promotions & continuously develop. It is a challenging & fast paced place to work (which isn’t suited to some) but if you’re willing to work well you are rewarded in many ways. Given the working environment as consultant you still have the opportunities to carry a strong work/life balance in a big team whilst being able to Maintain client relations if you’re inclined to be well organised. Recently the organisation has invested more into their staff and communication has enhanced progress towards not only client satisfaction but also employee satisfaction too.
Cons
There isn’t a degree of flexibility with hours of work however respectfully for most consultants the way of work is based around a call centre set up and so reliability of online consultants is key to driving client demand. Perhaps the future of the group opens up more flexibility. The group can have a very old culture to change progress (whilst changes are happening now which is a plus - trust was impacted historically) , salary reviews aren’t well balanced and equal pay for internal existing staff isn’t balanced within todays competitive industries.

Pros
Supportive employer with fantastic benefits who genuinely want their employees to succeed.

Great location, fabulous accommodation and a welcoming bottle of sparkly to greet us on arrival.
Cons
Working hours can be long when there is high demand especially in holiday periods.

Pros
Peninsula are more than willing to help you succeed if you are willing to put in the effort. There are amazing opportunities to gain official qualifications in employment law which they are so supportive with. They offering amazing support to ensure that you feel confident and comfortable to perform your role, whether this is from your direct manager or their super coaches. You always have someone there who will be happy to offer assistance. Also, who doesn't love to be treated, Peninsula always offer amazing perks to their staff just for doing their job well. At the moment there is a chance to win a paid weekend away and all you need to enter is a compliment. I can honestly say I have never worked for a company who puts so much effort into recognising their staff and making them feel important.
Cons
Unfortunately I cannot say anything that I am unhappy about because if I have any concerns they are addressed immediately and appropriately.

Pros
Peninsula have again recognised and rewarded me for my role within it's advisory department and the work I have produced. I have worked for the company 4.5 years and have never had this level of job satisfaction work life balance at any point in my career. My job is challenging, fast paced and different daily- but this is what I enjoy in a work place. I am continually praised for my work from director level down and my goals, targets and expectations are clear. The company continually develops it's team and evolves and I have benefited from this. I do not think job satisfaction could be any higher.
Cons
None- a company that values honesty and loyalty, rewards hard work and is built on meritocracy. No hesitation to recommend to any person looking at either a first role in HR or experienced HR professional.

- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good teammates Good exposure for young people starting out & wanting to gain experience (move on once you’ve gained that experience!) Offices are ok & near reasonably priced parking
Cons
Peninsula pressurise new employees to write reviews & are vindictive - they would try & find out who had written a negative review, so not many current employees feel comfortable doing so. They are very conscious of their online presence & struggle to retain/recruit. Extremely inflexible/micromanaging - they do not like WFH & do not trust employees Bullying culture from the top down. Middle managers are “yes men” & carry out the orders of the senior leader team to save their own heads. Unrealistic amount of work - quantity is preferred over quality of work. Mistakes are commonplace. Peninsula use their knowledge of employment law against the staff - they will stay JUST on the right side of the law whilst treating staff poorly. Salary increases are very rare & you have to fight for every measly one.
