Pros

Good compensation & benefits. That is the extent of the good

Cons

Field Leadership is almost laughable. Nothing wrong with external talent, but bringing in people with zero sales or insurance knowledge is an embarrassment. Quote volume is all they care about. Regional business is growing much faster than DW. It won’t be long before that is Sentry’s primary distribution channel for mid-market mfg , which completely replaces DW’s purpose. No transparency

Thank you for sharing this review. I’m glad you enjoyed our Total Rewards benefits package during your time at Sentry. One way Sentry differentiates itself from others is how we distribute our products/services. We deploy direct writer and independent agent distribution models based on customer profile and need. The direct writer group is our longest standing and most established distribution channel, and it will continue to be part of our business strategy. Regarding your feedback about leadership, we’re always looking for opportunities to do better by our associates, including managers, by investing in them in ways they can thrive and grow professionally and personally. John Hyland President, Direct Writer and Life & Annuities
