Not fit for their “culture”

Pros

Snacks and whatever free food they have.

Cons

This is a great company to work for if you are white. If you are not white you will not fit their work culture. I would say POC beware working here since there is a lot racial tensions and exclusions. Everyone is fake nice, like high school type of behavior.

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us and are saddened to hear that you experienced the culture around you in this way. We remain incredibly dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion for all of our employees, and are constantly striving for improvement and forward motion in these areas as they are absolutely essential to our company. Our employee-led Community Groups (ERGs), company-wide ‘Centro Conversations,’ which open up dialogue around diversity topics, and employee surveys are among the avenues that we have provided over the last year in hopes that all employees feel more supported, heard, and included. Additionally, a DEI task force was formed to ensure that time and energy is continuously being put behind our DEI goals and initiatives. We acknowledge there is room for improvement, and we are taking action on a wide scale. We are very open to ideas and feedback around how to keep the momentum headed in the right direction and would like to hear any additional feedback or specific examples if you are open to sharing them. Please email us at tellusmore@centro.net. -EVP, Talent and Development

Quick to let people go

Pros

Good benefits, unlimited time off.

Cons

Shawn Riegsecker, the CEO, always would speak about how he takes care of his employees & it's all about their growth & being a good person. Yet, when times got tough he was VERY quick to let people go - right before the holidays. This makes him & Centro a bit untrustworthy if you ask me. Also, it takes years for employees to actually get promoted at the company. Don't believe all this hype about "hiring 100+ new employees in 2019." That may be true, but if the following year, times get tough, Shawn will be sure to let people go (before cutting upper management's salaries).

Not worth the Hype

Pros

-Decent Pay -Great PTO policy -Gym Membership -Good Healthcare -401k Provided -Lots of emphasis on wellness

Cons

Centro is a classic example of either you can do 3 things great or 10 things crappy. They have their hands in too many honey pots and it shows by the lack of focus and manpower they have provided to support (or in this case not support) their products. One of the biggest issues is their lack of self evaluation and being able to recognize where they have weaknesses and address them. You can't fix a problem if you don't recognize that there is a problem. Management turns a blind eye to many issues.
