It was named among the five winning companies chosen from nearly 110 Illinois-based organizations by Healthiest Employers, LLC.

Ultimately, we have nearly 300 employees to thank for creating an innovative and enriching work environment.”
In addition to wellness initiatives that include benefits such as paid maternity and paternity leave and career education and personal development opportunities, Centro also hosts an annual employee wellness event, deemed “Wellnesspalooza,” where free on-site health screenings and discounts on the following years’ premiums are offered to employees.
The Company also offers a steady supply of free fresh fruit and healthy snacks to its employees, a cross-office Weight Watchers® program, smoking-cessation programs, gym membership reimbursement, and a variety of community engagement programs that encourage teams to build camaraderie while supporting worthwhile causes.
