Pros

Good company. Stable. Many quality employees. Technology is advanced.

Cons

Middle management at Dairyland is just not good. One of their three regional managers is good. The other two are "yes-men" without actual management skill.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and excellent benefits.

Cons

Bully management culture. Leadership lacks appreciation of and respect for independent agency force. Adverse to risk of any type. Inconsistent underwriting guide that is subject to frequent knee-jerk reactions. Regional hubs are in direct competition with Sentry's direct writers and the playing field is weighted heavily in favor of the direct writers.

While it’s great to know you enjoyed the benefits and pay at Sentry, I’m sorry to hear other aspects of your role weren’t what you expected. Our Regional business unit is growing at a rapid pace which means, sometimes, we have to adapt to quick changes. While our Regional agencies sell the same types of products as our direct writers, premium amounts typically dictate who our insureds will be best served by. I encourage any associates with any questions about how this process is handled to reach out to their managers or directors for more information. Scott Miller – President of National Accounts, Regional, & Transportation
