Sometimes can be heavy of mid level management

Sentry Response

I’m pleased to know you’re enjoying your role and the people you work with. Our IT department is large—nearly 20% of Sentry’s entire workforce—so I acknowledge that our department isn’t structured as flat as some others. This is to help keep individual teams from becoming too large so we can continue to put out great work and maintain the work/life balance you mentioned. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us—we appreciate it. Jim Frank – Chief Information Officer
