Peninsula Reviews

Pros

I have worked for Peninsula for 4 years in a number of different roles in departments across the organisation. I can honestly say I have never come across a Company so committed to not only providing a fantastic service, but also to looking after their employees.

I recently joined the sales team on floor 6 after working within the advice department for a number of years, and I am so happy that I made this career move. The atmosphere is fantastic and all of the Management team are so encouraging as they want to see each and every employee strive to achieve the best that they can. Employees are truly happy to come to work here each day and it is clear to see that reasons behind this relate to not only the fantastic rewards on offer, but also because of the constant support provided by the Management team.

There is an extremely generous commission structure in place which is really achievable if you work hard and are dedicated to the success of the business. There are also regular incentives to encourage employees to achieve the best that they can. Those who work hard are really rewarded here.

I am excited to continue building my career within Peninsula and progress further within the sales department.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work!

Pros

I have been working at Peninsula for nearly 3 years. It really is a great place to work - sure there are times where you feel like you're not up to the job but this is the nature of any sales role. The incentives are really good and it is a great place to make LOTS of money. You almost are made to feel like a part of The PENINSULA FAMILY. It always amazes me when I come across this site and read some of the comments submitted by ex employees. The reason they no longer work at Peninsula is because they either can't take the pressure of the role or don't like the style of management. The reason Peninsula is a successful business is essentially down to the combination of the 2. You wouldn't earn in excess of 40-50k a year if this job was a walk in the park - I mean some professionals don't earn this amount of money so it amazes me when people feel hard done by when they aren't performing. I wouldn't have said I was a particularly good sales person before i worked at Peninsula but I had the tenacity and right attitude to want to succeed. Once management can see this you will earn their respect. To be honest if ex employees are writing bad reviews maybe it is a reflection of themselves and they clearly weren't up to the job. A tip for anyone considering - If you are hardworking, determined, respectful, punctual and have the energy to talk a lot on the phone Peninsula is for you!

Advice to Management

The management have a job to do which is to advise us how to improve. It does surprise me how much stick management get in some of these reviews. In the last 3 years I have got to know the senior management very well and at the end of the day they have a job to do so when people are messing about and not getting on with their jobs or not making the right number of calls is it any wonder that they have to address this?

Pros

If your looking for a long term career in sales and are willing to work for it this is the place to be. You can earn life changing commission, sales in the truest sense and with that needs focus & drive. There is also an opportunity for progression in sales

Advice to Management

Some great feedback from previous employees who would want to come back to Peninsula, great investment & training with current employees

Pros

I have been working at Peninsula for well over a decade and I am more hungry than I have ever been. This can only be a reflection on the opportunity that has been given to me by such a great company. Money is clearly a factor when you come to work and Peninsula is always putting new incentives in place to help you strive and achieve more.

The company is very keen on employee engagement and are constantly setting incentives to motivate their employees. There are Training and Development opportunities for staff within the company and they have recently launched its Group Leadership Programme.

Pros

Great benefits and career progression opportunities.

Pros

Great people, great opportunities, varied work and brilliant clients.

Pros

I genuinely loved working for this company and didn't leave because I wanted a new job, I left because I wanted to travel. This role taught me so much and working in a small office meant I made very close friends and have left the business still remaining in touch with colleagues and even high level management. Great working environment and a fun place to work if you are able to work under pressure which I enjoyed. Good incentives to move up salary bandings and opportunities to earn extra cash through referrals etc

Advice to Management

Not enough is invested in the Belfast office in terms of recruitment. There always seemed to be a massive delay in recruiting someone even when plenty of notice was given for someone leaving. The documentation team in NI was massively under pressure when I left and I don't think it has changed which can mean that the team can be left demotivated and even more people are leaving.
