Centaur Media reviews

Where do I begin?! I went in to the role as a salesperson, yet after two months there I still hadn't had a chance to sell anything. They wanted me to do client servicing to begin with, which was boring at best. After being there for several weeks, I was asked to fill out a form regarding personal details (address, medical details, etc). I am an epileptic, and am naturally open about this. Within days of filling the form in, stating that I have epilepsy, I was called in to a meeting with my manager and someone from "HR" where I was fired. The reason they gave me was that they didn't feel it was working out, despite the fact that I hadn't even begun the sales side of the role yet. Evidently they felt that my epilepsy might somehow correlate to lower sales figures than they would want. I came very close to bringing in an employment lawyer to confront them about their disgraceful conduct, but it just wasn't worth the hassle. To sum up, senior management (particularly senior management in HR) have a lot to answer for. They're a complete disgrace. Avoid these people at all costs. If you want to go into Sales, I would recommend Financial Sales or Broking. Much more interesting products with a much higher commission structure.

The management hierarchy is set up to deliver the worst kind of micro management i have seen. I worked here for a large period of my career, and over the last two years the company has transformed itself from being a great place to work, to one of the worst, from every element of the business. Human resources is no longer a place for support but is there more to help implement ridiculous regulations. Management have no respect for staff anymore, if you were looking for a career here, you should take a look at the % of employees that have left the business in the past 24 months, and also the incredible and high turnaround of staff they now have. That should give you the answer if you think that this is a place to build a career. Having worked for incisive media, Denis and Centaur (where i spent the longest) i would look at other publishers before considering Centaur, unless you like be being mis-treated and extorted.
