Pros

Very little pros to this job, the only thing that kept me there is the people I worked alongside. We bonded over how much we hated Centurion Selection.

Cons

The list of cons could go on forever but I will delve into a couple of the incredibly annoying ones that form the pleasure of working at centurion. The level of micromanagement at the company is something I have never come across before, from having someone sit next to you and listen to you make calls for hours or KGB monitoring the number of calls I’ve made, centurion excels at making me feel like a child on a day to day basis. The owner sits in his office all day and has no contact with us like he is the CEO of Blackrock thinking we are scared of him. The company is run on fear, threats, and a lack of empathy for anyone or anything. It is purely number and even if you are putting the numbers up, you get fired. The hours you are contracted to work are fine but there is an underlying expectation that if you don’t stay until 11pm+ every single day, you will lose your job. They make you feel guilty for leaving on time and you are given absolutely nothing in return for putting in the hours every single day, apart from the Monopoly money that goes up on the board of course. There is no life outside of centurion for anyone who works there and forget even seeing your family or friends. Your family is now a headset and a script. Every shred of dignity you have will be eradicated if you work here. However if you enjoy working for people who don’t care about you, won’t give you the time of day, won’t do their jobs properly and will fire you in an instant, by all means, come here.

Pros

Nice offices and a good London brand.

Cons

Unfortunately, the biggest issue at this company was the CEO. In my experience, leadership was deeply toxic and unprofessional. The CEO regularly took full credit for team achievements while shifting blame downward whenever things went wrong. There was little accountability at the top and a culture of fear below it. On work trips, boundaries were frequently crossed and behavior was often inappropriate and embarrassing for a senior leader. This created discomfort among staff and undermined any sense of professionalism. Management through intimidation was common. Employees were openly threatened with termination, including comments that referenced staff having newborn children and “needing to think about their family” — which felt less like leadership and more like coercion. This created extreme anxiety and distrust across the team. The CEO was also highly self-interested, spent excessive time gossiping about employees, and actively fueled rumors rather than focusing on strategy or execution. Decisions often appeared reactive and ego-driven, with very limited evidence of sound business planning or long-term vision. Overall, morale suffered badly, turnover was high, and talented people left simply to protect their mental health.
