Pros

From top to bottom, Cardinal has amazing people who are always willing to help or share their knowledge with you and support your growth. Cardinal is also very open to giving opportunities that may not be the norm for example a maintenance technician wanting to transition into the office.

Cons

With Cardinal constantly growing and developing, I feel that certain implementations of new policies or programs could be rolled out with better.

Thank you for your honest review. I agree, turn is by far the most challenging, yet rewarding time of year and we love seeing our teams come together to ensure all residents are provided with an exemplary move-in experience. Turn is an all-hands-on-deck industry expectation, however, our leaders should be sure to provide their teams with the overall expectation. Thank you for your commitment to your community and residents during this time. We truly could not have done it without you.
