Vertical Slick slider: Content center align

Question

This is something that I can't get my head around.

For my carousel I'm using Slick and when I run the horizontal mode and select for example SlidesToShow: 2, than the 2 slides are nicely centered and I don't see any other slides.

But in this case I want the vertical: true, but now the slides aren't nicely center in the carousel container.

What am I doing wrong or what am I overlooking?

 $(document).ready(function(){ $('.featured_jobs').slick({ vertical: true, centerMode: true, infinite: true, slidesToShow: 2, slidesToScroll: 1, autoplay: true, autoplaySpeed: 2000, pauseOnHover: true, responsive: [{ breakpoint: 768, settings: { slidesToShow: 3 } }, { breakpoint: 520, settings: { slidesToShow: 1 } }] }); });
