How employees describe working at Centro
We needed to be a more cohesive team
Yes good relationship is very good
Laid back but, very hard working.
I had so much promise and hope for an organization that valued data, candor and transparency. I was a big advocate for a long time. When I witnessed a shameful episode of trying to silence complaints of harassment, that started to crumble. It's been a long time coming but it will soon leave.
