Peninsula Reviews

Pros

This week I will be celebrating 10 years service at peninsula working in the Employment Law Advice Department.
What can I say peninsula have fantastic career opportunities, great staff benefits, 1st class training and development, experience management teams and amazing staff who all work their socks off.
I absolutely love my job and have been fortunate enough to have worked in some fantastic roles within the Advice Teams that have kept me motivated and personally challenged. My colleges are like my extended family and I have been blessed enough to have worked with some fantastic Team Leaders & Managers that have always supported me. It’s people like Kate Palmer the Head of Advice that inspire me to keep working at Peninsula because even as the Head of an ever changing Employment Law team she always makes time for people and encourages people to push themselves out of their comfort zone and use their creativity and individual personalities to deliver exceptional customer service as well as practical legal advice to our clients.

Advice to Management

Keep recognising talent and rewarding good work as it does make a difference.

Pros

The company offers a lot of benefits to staff, with morale and mental health always being high on the agenda. There's a lot of team building and interesting fundraising events to keep everyone working at their best. From what I've seen there's a lot of room for progression and learning from within, and everyone is eager to see you succeed.
Management is easily approachable and open to ideas and opinions.

Advice to Management

Nothing so far, everything has been great, and any issues addressed promptly and with input!

Pros

I am very impressed by Peninsula's use of technology. It helps me to work efficiently and flexibly - which of course helps my work-life balance!

Advice to Management

Continue to introduce, use and improve technology to help our productivity and flexibility.

Pros

Been with the company just over 8 months now and found to be very fast pace, which suits me very well. Support from all work colleagues and management is second to none. There is personal development to be gained as well. Really looking forward to the months and years to come. Thank you for this opportunity.

Advice to Management

Keep that great support going.

Pros

Fantastic training program and great earning potential.

Advice to Management

Spend more time focusing on the positives rather than the negatives. No child ever learned to walk with their parents shouting walk walk walk. They we're praised for taking baby steps making them more determined to succeed the next time. Staff are exactly the same. Rather than say "you should be doing better" you should be asking "how can we help you do better".

Pros

Clear targets, some amazing people. Great opportunities to earn some extra money via referrals. 1st class training.

Advice to Management

Cut out the toxic individuals who are so called managers. However there are lots of managers who are great.

Pros

I came into Peninsula as a trainee sales advisor from a different career background, peninsula held an assessment day to recruit non-experienced telesales and I was successful.
9 months down the line I am earning the best money I have ever had!
you have tough days but you get the support needed from management to get you where you need to be.

Advice to Management

keep doing what you're doing to get people were they are today! thank you for your support!

Pros

There is opportunity for internal progression. Very rarely do we advertise externally for roles and I have managed to progress to a Team Leader from an Employment Law Advisor within my 5 years.

Peninsula offers great benefits for colleagues. Free breakfast on a Monday, gym classes, drinks after work every month, Kids Xmas Party just to name a few.

Advice to Management

Keep continuing to increase the high level of benefits

Pros

I started with the company on the Peninsula graduate scheme and the training and development during my time here is second to none. The client base exposes you to numerous sector industries and the amount that you learn and grow in a short space of time is staggering. If you work hard then you will be rewarded and it is definitely the company for anyone that wants to kick start their career.
They are very committed to the continuous development of their employees and offer a number of leadership programmes to develop futures leaders from within. I have worked my way though as an advisor and most recently promoted to a manager. The support throughout my progression has been great and there are excellent opportunities to progress.
Peninsula offer secure employment, competitive pay and benefits and a social working environment. This graduate scheme in particular allows you meet and network with 15 other young professionals that are a great support throughout the programme and always up for a drink or two after work!
It’s an expanding company that continues to grow and Its an exciting time to work here.

Pros

- Generous salaries
- Family feeling contact centre
- Training is second to none
- Progress from within
