Pros

No company is perfect but Cardinal is dang near close! I truly believe the majority of people at Cardinal believe in the mission and the core values and actively work to achieve those daily. As a company, Cardinal strives daily to have a successful business and gives its employees an ideal work environment.

Cons

Cardinal's biggest pain point, in my opinion, is not always hiring the best person for the position/not giving equal opportunity to everyone to see who is best for a given position. While a lot of companies are referral based, it sometimes feels that at Cardinal, those "referrals" are given priority regardless of background and expertise.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

You make a great point in that mission-driven people, jointly yoked can do anything anywhere any time and in any situation. Like all places though, engaging for future success in roles and new business is never cut and dry. Regardless, living the core values and using your voice like you've done hear is the tried and true path to long term success. Always speak up and always be present. Clap for those around you until it's your turn to be clapped for and I can all but guarantee you a meaningful career here at Cardinal.

Pros

The company despite all the changes that are in our industry and in our culture, they stay true to the core values that have centered them since day one. I go to work every day knowing that there are people at all levels of this company working hard and focused on a central mission of doing the right thing and being humble for our residents and our clients.

Cons

Change happens fast, what Cardinal looked like 2 years ago is not the same company today.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

Having and knowing your back is had is the too often understated key to large scale success. I completely agree that the solution to any problem can be found through the conversation with those who are experiencing it the most. Keep using your voice like you are here and we're going to be unstoppable.

Pros

This year I celebrated my 4 year anniversary with Cardinal and I can truly say this is one of the best places to work. I’ve met with countless team members across the company and everyone is always so supportive and resourceful. This year benefits added a new family forming lifetime benefit, and it was incredibly meaningful for those that need the extra assist, including myself.

Cons

Depending on the position you hold, or time of year within the different departments, work volume can increase incredibly fast which can throw off work life balance for a period of time.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

Happy Anniversary! It's strange to think of where we were in 2019 versus today. A pandemic where we were essential but not actually classified as such, the beginnings of ops tech and AI, the changing landscape in product types....I could go on and on here. The one thing though that's remained consistent is the people like you who show up each day to do the right thing for others. Here's to 4 more and beyond!
