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.

Pros

There’s an excellent work life balance. We receive perks such as reimbursement for fitness, education, and other expenses. Employees also have a 3 week paid sabbatical once every 4 years of employment.

Cons

Not all departments or groups receive the same recognition. Ad Operations often feels forgotten in the totem pole.

Pros

Great friendly company culture. People doing their best to take care of each other.

Cons

Unless it is not longer safe. Right now the company is still figuring out their product route.
