They say CentOS should be "RH with logos and such stripped", so based on that there should be no problems. Don't take that granted because I said it, though -- I haven't tried it myself. But why would you want to use CentOS repos for RH, if you're using RH (which is commercial, right?) -- I thought if you go with RH, you'd stick to their official support and reposities? Or just go with CentOS instead..
If you do mix up the two, make sure you have working backups available in case something goes wrong a testing environment wouldn't be bad either, but I guess if you had one, you wouldn't have asked in the first place..

the problem is that my company loves RH. I like CentOS because it is free. Since you have to pay for updates and the Red Hat Network (RHN) i want to find a way that they can use RH and i dont feel bad paying for updates...

You want free and stable system ...go for it www.debian.org, by the way many people think that debian stable is better in all fields than RHEL.
I believe it is true, debian is solid rock
