Pros

Work at Sentinel is challenging. The management in Michigan is a group of smart people who genuinely care about and respect their employees. I worked hard and had a good attitude. They made sure that I could spend time with my family, and they supported my career goals. I loved the teamwork. Before I came to work here I heard a lot of wonderful things about Sentinel. They were all true. I personally left because I wanted to be able to manage my own systems, rather than spend shorter periods in many different customer environments. I enjoyed the years I spent there though and the experience and friendships I gained there are extremely valuable to me.

Cons

Working for a VAR in a consulting type of role is challenging. People who are not willing to constantly learn new things and be independently motivated will not enjoy it. You have to know your stuff really well when you start because there’s not much OJT time. You hit the ground running! This is just the nature of the business. I saw some people come in with certs but not much field experience, and not all of them were able to make the jump from knowing enough to pass a test to knowing enough to complete a customer project.

Pros

Sentinel overall is a very strong company leading the technology conversation across the nation. I work in Grand Rapids, one of the three Michigan locations. If you want to be part of a great organization that invests in you, promotes from within and has great pay and benefits; Sentinel has all of that. In addition the leadership and culture in Grand Rapids is second to none.

Cons

There is rapid growth here. Always new events and challenges. If you don't like a challenge this may not be the place for you. Sharing of ideas and constant feedback are encouraged. If you like to keep your head down and keep to yourself; this may not be the place for you.
