      Pros

      Sentry offers great benefits and additional incentives throughout the year to keep associates motivated. The management teams that I've worked for so far actually care about associate feedback and changes are usually implemented based on this feedback.

      Cons

      Some practices are a little outdated. For example, working remotely isn't a widely accepted option. Additionally, each department has its own set of rules and way of running things. For example, some things that may be posted on the company web page (Intranet) as company policy may not apply to your department because the department has the final call on most policies. This makes the transition to positions in other departments somewhat difficult. Finally, it would be nice if Sentry hired a more diverse workforce. Granted, Sentry is a top-rated company for hiring women, but you don't see a large representation of people of color.

      Thank you for your comments. We strive to continually improve our practices by taking constructive feedback seriously. We also keep pushing ourselves and our company to be more inclusive. Sometimes our efforts are noticed. Sometimes they’re not. But that doesn’t mean we’ll stop working towards the goal of being a great place, including continually striving to become more diverse and inclusive. You also mentioned problems with accepting working from home. Since more than 95% of our associates currently work out of the office due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re all learning much more about the practice—and we aren’t rushing back into our buildings in the near future. Please talk to your manager or an HR representative for more clarification on long-term plans. Javier Sotelo – Director of Employment and Employee Relations

      Pros

      Great compensation. Good people (associates).

      Cons

      If you don’t live near the corporate office or are a local, you’re treated differently. Leadership and Senior Leadership in IT and Information Security are in constant conflict and unfortunately this drags other associates down.

      I’m happy to hear about your positive experiences and sorry to hear about your frustrations. We recently reviewed results from a company-wide associate feedback survey and overall, our associates are highly engaged and find Sentry to be a great place to work. However, we also found areas of opportunity and we’re helping management work on those. Thank you for sharing your comments—we’re always looking for feedback on ways to improve.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We strive to offer our associates a well-rounded benefits package, so I appreciate your acknowledgement. In regards to your paid time off and management concerns, I invite you to reach out to your HR representative or myself to discuss this further.
