Pros

Cardinal Group puts it's money (resources, talent, commitment) where it's mouth is. You truly get a seat at the table because not only do they actively seek out your expertise, talent, knowledge, and opinion; they listen and try to apply it. They value you as much as you value what you can bring. Give Cardinal group your all and they will return it ten fold. A true, get what you give.

Cons

Growing pains. Cardinal is hungry for more and that growth is coming and will continue to but as always that comes with a bit of adversity and stumbles. They do take it in stride though and try to learn from mistakes and not repeat them.

Love having your clear and open feedback here and completely agree with abnormally high growth comes abnormal problems. Agree even more though that the real strength of the company is our ability to work together with the unwavering goal of being committed to better.

The human aspect of the workplace is invariably the toughest to get right and I appreciate your speaking out about your experience in that area. While it sounds like the overall experience with the HR team has soured your view of the organization, I'm remaining hopeful that we will continue to work together and make something truly successful for you and those around you.
