Pros

They cover most of your expenses in sales.

Cons

They are extremely slow to make any change. The claim is that it is a conservative insurance company and they do not react to market changes. Underwriting and support departments are not helpful and do not answer the phone after 4pm.

Pros

In this world of turmoil Sentry provides a conservative approach to insurance. The conservatism has help shroud the company away from the market changes for sometime now. Sentry has a mid-west culture of management. Dale Schuh -- our CEO -- is known to shake your hand in the corridor without looking up at your face -- incase you happen to bump into him and forcefully introduce yourself. Sort of depressing -- but when you make sure your job is secure in this market with that person at the head, you don't care of such minor details.

Cons

Location. Location. Location. Headquartered in Stevens point. Offices in Madison and Appleton. Not many oppurtunities in these places. No wonder the company has an aging employee population with trouble repleneshing fresh resources.
