      I have been working at Peninsula full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Peninsula has provided me with the environment to learn and develop as an individual over 4 years. I've had roles within twp departments and been exposed to many experienced managers and mentors throughout the company.

      I've enjoyed my career so far and hope it will continue to flourish and prosper over the coming years as I have high aspirations, and anyone with drive, passion and focus will be given all the tools to become successful.

      Cons

      No workplace is perfect and Peninsula is no different. However, there isn't one specific 'con' to working here, come into work on time, give your all each day and the rewards will come.

      Pros

      Positive work environment aimed at supporting people to reach their true earning potential. Great benefits such as 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.

      Free breakfast every Monday along with various organised social events through the year.

      Cons

      Not a con as such, but travel into Manchester City Centre is a bit of a pain.

      Advice to Management

      Keep the support and advice coming

      Peninsula Response

      13 Oct 2017 – Directors Office

      Sometimes the journey in can be a pain we agree, however, based on the edge of a great city like Manchester also has its advantages! Thanks for the great feedback, we really appreciate it.

      I have been working at Peninsula full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      Peninsula Business Services Ltd is a good company to work for. The company offer many opportunities for employees who wish to develop and enhance their work skills. The workforce is competent and workers are extremely professional in their areas of responsibility and are the company’s main asset. Teamwork compliments the efficiency of the company operations and this in turn assists with the high standard of service delivery.

      Cons

      We work hard to maintain and deliver the high level of service we provide which is difficult to quantify. Statistics can only provide general service delivery information but that is what statistics are for.

      Advice to Management

      None

      I have been working at Peninsula full-time

      Pros

      Hit the ground running and there is a very high expectation for the graduates, but provided with the support to achieve this. Training sessions on areas of employment law are interesting and leave with a huge amount of info to digest.

      It’s clear that the company wants you to do well, but also that they expect a lot of a hard work on your own part. It seems like there are significant opportunities for progression.

      Overtime opportunities available as well.

      Graduate team leader is great and very helpful.

      Cons

      9-5 with only 30 minute break for lunch.

      Training opportunities are good

      IT systems could be improved

      I have been working at Peninsula full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      I've worked for Peninsula for more years than I care to think about now, but certainly have no wish to work anywhere else. The company really values its employees and the benefits are extensive. Peninsula is continuously striving to improve, which makes work life exciting, with new challenges on a regular basis. Support from the management team is second to none, with ongoing one to one communication, team briefings and national meetings where we get to mix with other departments and have a real view of the whole company. CPD is encouraged and supported and there are always opportunities within the team to get involved in wider projects.

      Cons

      Working in the field can be a lonely existence at times, especially if IT glitches occur. Be prepared to put the individual effort in to ensure small issues don't become large ones.

      Advice to Management

      Keep listening, keep building, keep on doing what you're doing.
