CHICAGO, IL – April 22, 2015 – Centro (centro.net), a provider of enterprise-class software for digital advertising, today announced it has been rated as the No. 2 Best Place to Work, according to Crain’s Chicago Business (www.chicagobusiness.com/section/best-places-to-work-2015). Previously, Centro had been named No. 1 for an unprecedented four consecutive years. It secured its placement based on employee feedback, which cites benefits, profit-sharing and career development as factors that illustrate how Centro delivers happiness in the workplace amid fast growth.
