Q&A With Centro Employees

nightmarish

getting budget is often a nightmare, and marketing budgets historically get cut repeatedly over the year.

Yes! Centro's leadership makes sure the heads of the HR functions have the ability to be creative with their solutions. That starts with a healthy degree of autonomy with our budgets.

It depends on your department and team, but the Digital Media Specialists typically work long hours and it's difficult to take time off.

great, only because you can pretty much coast here

Very good. CEO makes it a top priority.

mix of mostly B and C players (those who stay anyway)

Awesome, fun, talented intelligent, laid back, professional friends.

affable, cheerful, mix of A, B and C players

It's on an Ad Hoc basis.

Up to the manager. Hit or miss if you need a regular workday from home.

Very compassionate, good leader, fun to be around.

Unlimited vacation policy. Political environment has business groups accusing other groups of abusing the policy - even when the data shows, with very few exceptions, that everyone keeps their vacation time around 3 weeks. 3 weeks was the former policy for new hires.

They do a background check: criminal check (Federal, State, and County) and DMV

Why do you want to come work here?

longer but easier than other places

minimal

company is nice, but not in it to win it. it's a lifestyle job for many.

I've never found it easier

Unlimited vacation

NYC is dull. Chicago is more fun.

easy

the whole company is in trouble. Media services isn't differentiated enough to stand out and the tech play has been a disaster.

culture first, skills-based second. It is not an environment to absorb and learn from A players AT ALL.

the base salary. all else is not great.

5 of the most senior marketers at Centro all left the company in the last 3 months, so no - there is no marketing strategy to speak of there anymore. Shawn is in charge of the marketing strategy, and Shawn isn't a marketer.
