We take care of our employees by providing unique benefits that support work-life balance. In addition to medical and dental coverage, we offer a 401(k) plan with employer match, a pre-tax FSA account, short and-long term disability insurance, a vision discount program, and referral bonuses. Plus, Certes employees enjoy both holiday pay and a vacation bonus.
