Certco is celebrating our employee’s success! This week we are shining a light 🔦 on Joshua Centeno Gonzalez, Warehouse Supervisor, who has been with Certco for 9 years! Josh started as an Order Selector back in 2014. After a year and a half in our warehouse, he moved to our Inventory Control department. Josh quickly learned all aspects of Inventory Control. He was challenged to develop quick solutions to everyday issues that would arise. He gained a lot of knowledge from his mentors and was able to in turn train and mentor others who joined his department over the years. In September, Josh was promoted to his current role of Warehouse Supervisor! Josh shared this with us about his Certco experience, "I care about this company and its employees. Anytime someone comes to me with an issue or complaint my mind just starts thinking of how I can fix it right away. I care about the employees' needs. If I can make a difference to facilitate their work, lighten their day, make their job easier, then they will have a better mood and their quality of work increases". Josh also spoke about how he has been involved in so many projects over the years and can see the impact of his work every day. Congratulations on your success, Josh! Thank you for your dedication to Certco. #CertcoInc #employeespotlight #employeesuccess

Certco is celebrating our employee’s success! Today we shine a light 🔦 on Daniel Arreola, Senior Recruiter, who has been with Certco for 10 years!   Daniel started in our warehouse back in 2014 as an Order Selector. He worked hard in that role for 3 years and got an opportunity to move to the Incentive Coordinator role. Being the Incentive Coordinator allowed Daniel to show his leadership potential by coaching Order Selectors. After 3 years in that role, a position opened in the Human Resources department, and he became an HR Generalist. Daniel didn't have any formal HR experience going into the role, but he had proved over the years that he was a dedicated employee and a fast learner. He was very successful in HR, providing translation for our Spanish-speaking employees and interviewing candidates. Daniel was promoted to his current role of Senior Recruiter 2 years ago. Daniel shared with us his thoughts on being a Certco employee. He spoke about the people at Certco, and how great his team is to work with. Daniel has made many friends over the years and has built a great community at Certco. Daniel is grateful that Certco saw his potential and allowed him to try different roles to find the one that fits his skills and interests.    Congratulations on your success, Daniel! We are lucky to have you on the Certco team.   #CertcoInc #employeespotlight #employeesuccess

Certco is celebrating our employee’s success! Today we shine a light 🔦 on Patrick Brennan, Senior Buyer with over 12 years of service at Certco.   Patrick started his career as an Order Selector in our warehouse where he worked for two years. He then applied for and was selected for a Warehouse Clerk role, and then moved to a Receiving Clerk role. He always wanted to learn more and went above and beyond. He was recognized for this dedication, which led to an opportunity to join our procurement department as a Buyer's Assistant. As a Buyer’s Assistant, he learned the ropes of purchasing and developed great relationships with his team. He was promoted to a Buyer Trainee and was quickly promoted again to a Buyer. He demonstrated great leadership and was promoted once again into his current role as a Senior Buyer, a management position with 8 procurement team members reporting to him.   Patrick also shared with us some of the reasons he has stayed with Certco over the years. He highlighted his co-workers, and how their team keeps him engaged with his role and our company. He spoke about how Certco recognizes and rewards hard work by promoting from within. He knows many of his peers share a story similar to his, where Certco saw their potential and gave them an opportunity.   Congratulations on your great career, Patrick! We can't wait to see what comes next for you.   #CertcoInc #employeespotlight #employeesuccess

Today we dropped off donations to two of our great friends here in Madison- the Boys & Girls Club and Luna's Grocery! The Boys & Girls Club requested giftcards for the holiday shopping event where they take families shopping for Christmas. Luna's Grocery does an annual toy drive, with books and toys donations for local families. Our own Certco employees made these donations. We have great employees who love to give back to their communities! 🎁 Merry Christmas from all of us at Certco!
