Pros

At Cardinal, we have a set of core values. I think these are very important for employees that want to actually become better employees. The Core Values hold me accountable and become more of a team player. Cardinal Group has definitely helped me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things. I feel like I will be successful in my new role because I have a whole team behind me cheering me on. They provide lots of learning opportunities and they really want their employees to succeed. Since day 1 I have felt as though I was a part of a great team.

Cons

I do not have any cons.

I love what you have to say about how the core values help us to remain accountable to others. The most impactful part of that ethos in my mind is that at the end of the day, people at Cardinal work for each other and not some corporate bogey man. Thanks for helping people understand why that's important!

The company has ambitious plans and these are communicated widely to ensure all team members know the value they bring to building the future Cardinal.

" They are talked about openly so that team members know additional attention is needed for the benefit of our teams and the company as a whole." is the single most meaningful comment I've heard on this platform. You've captured in a short sentence the entirety of the "why" behind why we work. Thank you for helping others to see past the fluff and zero in to why Cardinal is what it is today.

Pros

Culture, hands down. Cardinal leaders, directors, managers, and all team members really truly care about the team and help you achieve the best possible YOU!

Cons

Really none. I previously worked at a company that allowed HQ team members the option to work four 9-hour days and have Fridays afternoons off. That was cool.

I love where your head is at. So often in work, we fool ourselves into thinking that the cadence of yesterday is applicable to today. Between the pandemic and the every increasing efficiencies of work, who are we to say that a person who brings all they have for four days can't do what they need to do for others? I'll make sure your voice is heard in these types of conversations.
