Cons

Pros

I've been with Peninsula over a year now as a consultant in the South East and have very much enjoyed my time here, the company helped me to achieve my qualifications required for graduate IOSH membership and I am now working on my next development phase. No two days are same as a consultant and you get exposed to a good variety of environments and meet some incredible people on the journey. As a place to work the company are very inclusive and hard work is rewarded which is very encouraging, their is a clear path for progression as a consultant with goals and objectives that are reasonable to achieve. The company are also looking at ways to improve itself and how it delivers its service such as improving the reporting systems we have. If you are thinking of applying for a role at Peninsula then my advice would be to do it.

Cons

One of my previous observations is that the sharing of knowledge between departments is not where it should be, however in recent months I have noticed a big improvement in the internal communications which is fantastic.

Pros

Working in the health and safety/safecheck team l have found the following: - Great team to work with and very supportive (a lot of the team are field based however you always feel there is always someone a phone call away if you have an issue or problem which is great). - There are plenty a avenues to earn commission, l believe this is the most rewarding company i've worked for financially because they really do reward employees for the hard work and hours they put in. - Communication with management is great, you feel like a valued member of the team and they are always on hand to motivate you to bring the best out of you. - Personal development programmes i.e health & safety programmes

Cons

The workload can be a lot sometimes but this is due to the number of clients we service, but l will say that management are great in helping you manage your work load and time whether that is tips/advice or adding more admin time (where necessary). So there support is there, you just need to ask.

Pros

I have been employed with Peninsula for just over six years and I can honestly say that I have never been bored! The variety of the work, the constant training and development, the changing landscape of employment law and the fact that as a company we never stand still or rest on our laurels has made the last 6 years fly past. I have worked with some of the best people in my career at Peninsula and I appreciate the openness and frankness of my colleagues. There is a genuinely supportive feeling within the teams where people help colleagues because they want to and not for brownie points or because they have been instructed to. The feedback from our clients is a great aspect of the job as they are genuinely grateful for the support and not shy about expressing their feelings. I would highly recommend a career in Peninsula for anyone who likes to be mentally stimulated, loves a bit of hard work and appreciates a job well done.

Cons

The variety and level of mental challenge on a day to day basis can be extremely rewarding but can also bring out insecurities and can be challenging for people to adapt to. Sometimes reaching the standards required can take a bit of time, faith, confidence and hard work. Be prepared to work for any changes you need to make and enjoy the benefits after!

Pros

I've worked for Peninsula for 7 years. Seen a lot of changes as the business has grown and expanded. The pay is excellent, potential to earn very bonuses. Benefits good, I got BUPA now. If you chose, good career progression, CIPD qualifications to be had. Well looked after, well supported.

Cons

We work can be pressured and hectic.

Pros

Training, Excellent management, Good salary, Great cross office working, Very well oiled machine, Great exposure to senior management, fantastic communication tools available across the organisation, great opportunities to increase salary through referral. Would absolutely recommend this Company to anyone wanting a career in HR. The training is amazing and the money is fantastic. Very accommodating management as well if any queries come up. Want to highlight Ceire Watson in the Belfast office as being absolutely fantastic in her management role. Extremely supportive and encouraging to me and a credit to the Peninsula team.

Cons

Very fast paced which at times can cause stress. Multiple and moving targets which feel hard to meet. A lot of demands placed on advisors. Culture of working towards the weekend 'nearly friday' attitude.

Pros

You will learn alot about health and safety and employment law.

Cons

Stand the whole day 30min lunch and smoking break and you have to make it down 6 flights of stairs to smoke and then eat lunch. Management are terrible and will openly shout at you or belittle you infront of the whole floor. The sales director is even worse and likes to make you think you are a worthless piece of $@@t. They lie to you about having to pay for parking which could be as much as £17 a day.

Pros

The best part has been my colleagues and management, its been amazing to work with some of the most talented and nurturing professionals in the HR world whilst also receiving the much needed support, coaching and mentoring but also whilst having the pleasure of calling them colleagues and working with them day in and day out! Peninsula really look after their people and are always looking to promote within! The training is second to none, the investment in development, training and transfer of knowledge is one of the most important things in my HR career and the level and quality of the training and transfer of knowledge at Peninsula is unrivalled. Although not permanently based at an office location, I always feel involved with various catchups and video calls . The benefits are great! No day is the same and the variety of different clients keeps thing interesting!

Cons

Genuinely - I have never experienced any!
