Pros

401K match, the usual benefits, holidays Amazing teams of hard working people Claims experience that is highly valued at better competitors.

Cons

Local Management doesn't know how to manage workload. Micromanaged down to the second with your availability Phone reports are scrutinized so bathroom breaks and health issues are actually eligible for disciplinary action unless you disclose your reasons. Endless redundancy in workload, systems, and for each level of management review for authority or coverage decisions. Stop shoving all the work down to the line, and work to remove the busywork from the adjusters! Promotions are only eligible for those that play well in office politics. Favoritism rules this office. And if one manager dislikes you, go ahead and rewrite your resume! You are on the way out!

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the people you worked with and the benefits we offered while you worked at Sentry. I’m sorry some of your other experiences weren’t as positive. Please know we recognize the workload in claims tends to be challenging to predict so we’re consistently striving to provide balance to all our associates. We also take your comments about process and management seriously and plan to look further into that information. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Michele Dufresne – Chief Claims Officer

Pros

Pay, 401K match, vacation, nice campus. Great gourmet coffee shop with fair prices. HR group takes associate concerns seriously and tries to give managers what they need to be effective leaders. IT organization is large enough to offer both horizontal and vertical movement. Many leading technologies being utilized or actively pursued.

Cons

Not many cons but workload can be exhausting. Middle mgmt seems jumpy about appearance to upper mgmt, even though upper mgmt always seems very open. Focus on timelines over quality, and related stress. Limited support for off site training/conferences. Limited laptop offerings and can't bring your own. Personal WiFi offering is unsecured/open. Cafeteria has limited hours and is expensive, especially high-caffeine cold beverages which are way overpriced.
