Pros

Beautiful offices and world class snacks

Cons

Once a hot company and no longer. You will shed blood tears and sweat for something that doesn't matter at the end of the day. Upper management take advertising way too seriously and ruins the lives of everyone they manage. From the sales dept to the Media team, this company is truly beginning to crumble. Clients don't care about Centro's offering because they have nothing significant to offer. Oh a DSP? A little too late in the game to be competitive. The data analytics they provide to clients is so meaningless and almost every campaign fails. Every person in upper management is either a psychotic mother or an old guy who is waiting to retire to reap his 401k benefits. If you're a male not in upper management, forget about it... You won't succeed in this company. Centro is so desperate for any business (even budgets less than $10k) they can get it's pathetic. You won't learn anything either, so don't waste your time since this isn't an innovative company, it's just another media organization failing to be resilient and unique. Sales folks LOVE to bring in ideas that make no sense for the client and cause unnecessary work for everyone. Also, forget about a pay raise or promotion... you won't see that, EVER. Anyone who's been at the company for more than 3 years will tell you how impulsive their business decisions are, and it's quite sad since upper management knows this company will not be around in 5-8 years, guaranteed.

Pros

Centro does still offer unlimited PTO

Cons

The CEO and HR are pressuring current employees to submit positive reviews on Glassdoor as a means of combatting negative reviews rather than actually addressing the issues that are honestly & truthfully being raised.

Pros

Centro strives to create a healthy culture where there is a healthy work life balance, with clean, cutting edge working environments and a kitchen stocked full of snacks. Also, if you make it long enough, there is a 4 week sabbatical you can take after 4 years. Pretty sweet. Also, with unlimited vacation you can take off as much as you want to get a jump on Hampton's traffic or whatever.

Cons

To work there as a young person, you learn a lot about digital advertising and you get exposed to almost everything across the digital landscape, so this is a great breeding ground for your career, but ultimately, Centro is the Walmart of digital advertising. Too often clients expect results, analysis, projects, or even rates that are out of scope or might take a little extra time and it becomes holy hell! Why? People are overworked and assume too many projects so any real strategy or thoughtful work gets eliminated. Working at Centro is like working on an assembly line. Repeat and move on and repeat. Just like ground hog day. For advertisers and agencies who are stranded, in a pinch and can't find anyone to do the job, Centro will ride in on a white horse and solve your problems, just like when you forget underwear on a business trip, you run to the local Walmart in an emergency. That would be how I'd recommend someone use Centro, only in an emergency.
