30% overpriced in the Iowa market. Reputation for high turnover. No longer Deere friendly. Training is poor.

Pros

Compay Car Fuel and auto Insurance Paid

Cons

Managment is poor. Training is poor. Upper managment is incompetent. CEO Dale Shuh is out of touch with the industry. He sees the sales force as a liability. Highly overpriced and not competitive. High employee turnover leads to distrust in the market place. No longer John Deere friendly. Don't waste your time working for Dealer Operations in Iowa.

Business Outlook

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.
