I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience at Sentry. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed your time here, and that we were able to support a smooth transition from college to a professional setting. That’s among our top priorities at our IT co-ops in Stevens Point and Madison. And we definitely recognize that insurance industry terminology can get pretty complex, which is one reason we offer a range of educational courses for associates through our SentryU online portal. Thank you again for submitting this review. Jim Frank – Chief Information Officer

Pros

Multiple office locations across the country Hybrid system for those that like to be in office

Cons

Poor communication Low pay compared to other industry positions Software is old and outdated Positions that are typically salary are hourly based Most "surveys" to gauge employee sentiment are constructed in such a way that no negative feedback can be left Hybrid or in office is required, no option for full remote If you happen to be full remote, there is no upward mobility possible for you, period. Excessive workload Not very good benefits
