The best reasons to work at Barnum is the culture of people who are around to support you. Barnum won the #1 places to work in CT by the Hartford Business Journal and that was judge upon employees feeling engaged, appreciated and had the ability for growth and development. Also the about of resources our Managing Director has invested in the firm for his producers, we have 8 departments in our agency who all support the producers in our firm and to our company.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
