      Terrible Company To Work

      Customer service representative

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible Schedule, Casual wear, Big Parking Lot.

      Cons

      The management doesn't care about your opinion, the sense of logic is nowhere to be found among leadership. The motto seems to be 'You do what we tell you to do, no matter how illogical it is or sounds'. The 90% of customers that call to the company don't really know or were given an clear explanation of what or how their insurance cover or works. Technologically is a stuck up company using software from the 80's, they don't have a sense of progress, and innovation is frown upon

      IT - Digital Content Management Business Analyst Team a positive example for Sentry to model

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In my nearly two years with Sentry, I have worked on two teams as a Business Analyst within the IT division. My current role with Digital Content Management (DCM) has provided me many opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills and continue to grow within my role. I have found management to be helpful and encouraging of all efforts, both internal and external, to expand my knowledge base. The team, consisting of both .Net and Java programmers and several BA's at various stages in their career, has been a positive example of how a team should work, and thrive together. Overall, I enjoy coming to work. Bulleted highlights for Sentry and the IT-DCM team include: - good benefits (401k, bonuses) with onsite resources (fitness center, pool, cafeteria, credit union) - regular messaging from CEO on the direction of the organization - educational opportunities - support from Application Development Manager and Director for both internal (SQL courses) and external (ToastMasters) efforts designed to improve the overall employee - positive promotion of a team atmosphere geared toward working together to find solutions - encouragement from AppDev Manager to pursue growth opportunities

      Cons

      Overall, I'm hard-pressed to find a compliant with my department. I enjoy what I do, who I work with and my management. My only "complaint" is that I would like a larger monitor for viewing Excel documents more clearly. In consideration to Sentry as a whole, I would like to see more associate surveys to elicit feedback. Sentry also has a policy of alerting management when you are applying for another internal position. I have not encountered that with any other company I've worked for, and while I have a comfort level with my manager that emphasizes open discussion, not all associates may have that same experience. This seems a bit archaic and may prevent associates from finding workplace fulfillment.

      Overall, overworked beyond any sort of comprehension.

      Pros

      The good thing is that they match 6% of the 401k. All typical benefits, health, dental, additional life insurance if needed. Vacation is 2 weeks, and 4 "floating holidays" to be used 2 every 6 months.

      Cons

      Absolutely UNREALISTIC work load. It's a shame. Managers in the auto department are overworked, and that translates down hill to their teams. On the workers comp side, there is one really good manager, and a good associate director, but if you're in the unit of one of the other two managers, who show up late, leave early, and keep piling up the work to those people who they know who can "handle" the work load, be warned. The pay was increased a couple of years ago, but it is still way below average. The bonus this year was bogus. It's truly a shame because the employees are loyal. There is no work life balance.
