The Pacific Coast Business Times would like to congratulate the following companies for their inclusion in the 2025 Central Coast Best Places to Work report! More than 1,400 employees at almost 100 companies filled out surveys ranking their company’s culture, benefits, working environment and dedication to the community, and we’re grateful to everyone who spent time filling those out!

We also want to give a special shoutout to the companies in bold, which were Editor’s Choice picks this year, and to CenCal Health, which was our Anniversary All-Star.
To celebrate every company on this list, and all of the people working at those places, we’re having an event at the Carr Winery from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Carr Winery. Tickets for the event can be found here.
