      Pros

      - Strong company that is transparent about financials - Good benefits, health, vision, dental, 401k matching - A lot of interesting work is available, as long as you can get assigned to it

      Cons

      - Strict in-office only, "flexible" on Mon/Fri for now - Micro-management heavy - Used to pay competitively, but has fallen behind the times - High turnover, more people leaving than joining - Hostile co-workers and management

      I appreciate your thoughtful comments and am glad to understand the aspects of your role you enjoy. Please know I hear your concerns as well. I encourage you to talk with your manager or an HR representative about any situations involving a hostile work environment—we don’t tolerate that here. As associates continue to come back to the office, we understand teams may need to go through some adjustments. We’re here to support you as you go through that transition. While we know there’s a place for remote work and intend to keep that as part of our hybrid model, we know in-person collaboration is important to our relationships with one another. I encourage you to continue sharing your feedback with us as we’re always looks for opportunities to improve. Jim Frank – Chief Information Officer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay for the area is good. Benefits are decent. The amenities at on-prem locations are good. There are some great people and a few select great teams.

      Cons

      Culture is awful, nonexistent, and definitely not a leadership priority. The atmosphere is do as I say not as I do. Its an old company with an old perspective on people and people leadership. Leadership frequently talks down to staff and belittles them. Leadership makes decisions in a bubble and doesn't care how it impacts their teams. Leadership often takes credit for the accomplishments and doesn't have any issue pointing a finger at someone else during failures. They have many open positions, not because they are growing, but because people have been leaving for significantly better opportunities. Very difficult to stay motivated to when they rarely recognize the workers. There is no work life balance.

      Thank you for taking the time to share a review. I’m sorry your experience wasn’t what you expected. We take associate feedback seriously and want to ensure comments aren’t siloed within a department. We encourage associates to share feedback with their managers, or if necessary, their HR representatives to help ensure we’re taking next steps on anything requiring action. Conversation is one of our largest values at Sentry and we want to do what we can to help foster them. Jim Frank – Chief Information Officer

      Pros

      Company car, gas card 401k with matching save all you can it will be short lived work from home while you look for another job.

      Cons

      Same old sales job 4 tier sales structure and everything roles down hill. Upper management hides behind performance of everyone below them so if you are an acct manager you will be at the bottom. Sales acct mgrs have no say in anything underwriting controls everything acct managers deliver policy and sale what is approved by underwriting at the highest price.
