Good pay - because unable to retain staff any other way - Residential Property Manager Centro (UK) Employee Review

Near the station. Other than that nothing.

The property management side of this business is declining rapidly due to toxic and abhorrent management from the 86 year old owner. The staff that are left are miserable, constantly reprimanded like children and totally unsupported (there is no HR department). If the owner takes a dislike to you (you could just say something slightly not to his liking and that’s your cards marked), you are worked out of the business one way or another very quickly. When approximately 8 people in the group leave within 6 months you know there is a problem. Looking at the reviews on other websites, all seems ok but that is a different part of the business (Sales and Lettings), rather than the property management side. The owner is very controlling and checks everything (including all works orders) resulting in a very unproductive and slow output, and he will only do this when it suits him and. It can take months to resolve simple issues because he is very stuck in his ways and hasn’t updated his knowledge in the last 20 years and always believes he is right - his way or the high way is the general feel. Just don’t do it. I have worked in offices for over 20 years and this place is shocking, it’s hard to believe companies like this still exist.

Good working hours. Reasonable offices. Location to transport links

Family run business. Old school ways of operating. No HR link for grievances
