STEVENS POINT, Wis., April 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sentry Insurance has been recognized by Forbes as one of America's Best Midsize Employers for the third consecutive year.

In collaboration with analytics firm Statista, Forbes selected America's Best Employers based on an independent survey of a sample of 50,000 people in more than 25 industries who work at companies with at least 1,000 U.S.-based employees. Participants were asked to rate how likely they'd be to recommend their employer to others. They also were asked to recommend companies outside their industry.

Forbes names Sentry Insurance in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, one of America's Best Midsize Employers for a third consecutive year.
