Pros

Cardinal is a people centric company and does much better than most large companies in putting people first.

Cons

Get rid of the disconnect between HQ and site. All sites should essentially work the same but they don’t.

Thank you for your honest review, I appreciate your willingness to have difficult conversations in order to make a difference, not only for you but for your teammates as well. Our P&C team is hard at work providing pay bands by position in each State, city, and market to ensure that compensation falls in line with the needs of each of our over 2,000 team members in each market across the country. The goal is to have the pay bands that reflect today's changing times in front of the clients to have budgets approved by the beginning of the year. Until then, keep using your voice and help us to be the best place to work for anyone anywhere. Here's hoping that as we move quickly in terms of responding to the changing economy.
