November is a time to give thanks. This year, the team was asked to share what makes them thankful in work and life. Here’s what they had to say:
I am thankful to Centric for giving me the opportunity to be part of an awesome organization and providing me with the work / life balance that I always wanted! – Sandeep Brar, Shared Services
I’m thankful that Centric bought me a Mac for mobile development. – Eric Galluzzo, Centric Cincinnati
I am thankful for my new headset at my client. It is amazing how much work you can get done when your hands are free during conference calls. – Nicole Bossert, Centric Chicago
I’m thankful that I work for a company that is so supportive of community involvement! Instead of taking on a local service offering lead, I’m taking on PROJECT YESS and we’re changing the lives of youth in Cleveland in such an amazing way! We recently had our class of 2012 reunion and the students were fantastic! What a difference this kind of commitment to our local communities can make! – Anne Kelly, Centric Cleveland
I work with great people. When a team member lost power from Hurricane Sandy, we all chipped in to get his family gift cards to make it easier – Sarah Baker, Centric Cleveland
I’m working with a business partner and have been associated with Centric for almost two years now. In the entire duration of my engagement with Centric, I really liked Centric’s style of working, transparency, flexibility and openness with employees. I appreciate Centric’s vision for employees to “hire them for life.”
I have always seen the same healthy culture across all Business Units here, which clearly means the company in itself has successfully achieved its motive to impact each and every one in the organization in the same positive manner. I’m simply amazed and happy to work with Centric and thank the entire Centric team and the management for giving me an opportunity to get associated with them. – Shashank Agarwal, Centric Columbus
I am thankful for Centricity, our company intranet built using SharePoint 2010. – Jennifer Jackson, Centric Tampa
I am thankful for being part of a group of good friends that just happen to be building a great company together. – Ted Goodman, Centric Chicago
I am thankful that I get to work from home! I love, love, love it! I have a cozy office with a view. I have great, flexible work hours, and of course, I can work in my PJs! This is living (and working)! – Anna Johnston, Shared Services
I’m thankful for good clients that treat contractors as business partners. – Doug Lewan, Oracle
I am very thankful for the unbelievable culture of community citizenship and volunteerism at Centric. From our involvement with the Gentilly Community Center of Hope to the individual business units’ commitment with numerous causes and events to support the local communities, it is truly inspirational. – Scott Moyer, Centric Cincinnati
I am thankful that I have the opportunity to work with great clients that continuously challenge me to innovate new ideas. I am also thankful that I have great friends and colleagues at Centric to help me innovate and be my best. – Ben Chestnut, Centric Indianapolis
I’m thankful for a company with self managed PTO that allows me to train for “donut” races.- Jansen Meyers, Centric Cleveland
I am thankful to work for a company that has made practicing responsible stewardship one of their core values. In this day, ensuring job security is so important!
I am also thankful to work with such a great group of people in Shared Services. It is a wonderful feeling to know that when someone says they will take care of something, you can count on that to happen. My coworkers have become great friends too and I am also grateful for that! – Angie Abrams, Shared Services
I am thankful I can work from home, which sometimes means emailing while spinning! – Carmen Fontana, Centric Cleveland
Work helps us to find our purpose. It gives us focus and helps us to provide for our families! I am thankful to have a sound mind. I am thankful that I can use my mind in a way that results in a positive contribution to a team that has a purpose, which contributes to our society. – Brian Ranne, Centric Cincinnati
I am thankful for having vision care Insurance through Centric. This is a picture of my 9 year-old son’s glasses (that were less than 24 hours old) that my puppies found laying on the steps and promptly thought was a raw hide. LensCrafters knows us on a first name basis now! Not only am I getting to use my insurance, but support our eyewear client! – Susan Wyder, Centric Cincinnati
I’m thankful for the opportunity to work remotely (and for my insomnia). – Eileen Lynch, Shared Services
I am thankful for the example of inspiration, strength and courage by 1LT Nick Vogt, an Ohio-born, 2010 West Point graduate, after he was almost mortally injured in Afghanistan and all the soldiers and service people who rallied to save him. I am thankful for how strong every one of us can be if we set our minds to it and rally to support one another. – De’Angelo Rutledge, Centric Cincinnati
I’m thankful for my project team. They are a well-oiled machine that works diligently to deliver high quality work for the client day in and day out. Collectively, they make my life easier and work more enjoyable by being a caring and highly capable group. – Kevin Bracy, Centric Cleveland
I am thankful for the genuine teamwork and collaboration that my colleagues at Centric provide from a local to national level. – Melissa Lucarelli, Centric Cleveland
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
