Pros

Sentry’s CEO, Pete McPartland, is an amazingly kind, knowledgeable and caring person. The company is investing a lot of money into the home offices to make them much better for employees and the community. For the area, the jobs pay well. However, the benefits are average.

Cons

The department I worked it had a lot of first-time managers who did not necessarily have the experience to be managers. As a result, instances of fear-based management techniques, lack of trust in team’s abilities even though the team was entirely capable and talented, and micromanaging and nitpicking were regular occurances. Because of this, turnover has been extremely high and great talent has been lost. There was also a severe lack of professional development and forward-thinking career planning.

Pros

Good pay and time off

Cons

Poor project planning. Very little research and documentation prior to development. Lots of rework. Very little personal growth once you're pegged for a position. Plan to do the same thing for your entire career.

Pros

I have worked and continue to work for Sentry over the past 40+ years and can't say enough about what a great company Sentry is. They have a competitive wage and benefit package. Sentry and the associates contribute greatly to the community. I am very proud to say that I'm a longstanding Sentry associate.

Cons

My only wish is that the health insurance currently offered now (Anthem BC/BS) was as good a plan as we had many years ago when Security Health was offered. I do, however, understand that things have to change to keep premiums at an affordable level.

We'll continue to research the ever-changing and more complex marketplace for medical insurance options that provide ample coverage at affordable rates for our associates and family members. Our Claims leadership works with our human resources partners to ensure performance objectives for every claims position accurately represents the expectations of the role, and fairly recognizes and rewards claim associates for their individual team contributions.
