Sentry Insurance Employee Reviews for Product Specialist

"Not a career option, just a paycheck."

What do you like about working at Sentry Insurance?

"If you drank the company Kool-aid, told them what they wanted to hear and met minimum production requirements you had a pretty cushy gig. Company car, gas, excellent 401k match. Medical plan is HORRIBLE, dental is iffy. It you need a job for a year or so, this is a good place to hang while you get your head on straight."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Tell them how much you love metal working and metal working machinery. How well you know you know how to prospect and can talk shop or relate with blue color machine worker types. Also that you can get past gate keepers and do have the ability to speak with a more sophisticated owner."

What don't you like about working at Sentry Insurance?

"Busy work, people at the home office trying to justify their jobs. Super high turn over rate. Old school way of doing business. Not competetive on almost anything. Most current employees are disgruntled or looking for greener pastures. Very limited market to sell too, bothering the same people for quotes year after year. Everyone cheats on quotes. Very activity vs sales driven culture."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get realistic about the current state of the insurance business. Need some competitive products and competent upper management."
