Pros

Great leadership starts at the top and can be felt all the way to the site level. There are several programs to keep employees engaged and driven from the DEI initiatives to Mentorship programs and cell group opportunities to stand out and shine. Cardinal invests in their team members who in turn invest in their groups and communities.

Cons

I wish they had more properties around my area.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

Fantastic feedback here about the size and makeup of the cells, and even more fantastic observations here in your writing about what it is we're trying to do here for others. Your voice is heard loud and clear!

Pros

Everything about Cardinal is a pro. - Feeling the culture thrive in this place is a great feeling - Amazing benefits and compensation. Cardinal looks out for its people - Supportive leadership - Resources and continued training for days (I have never felt like I was alone on an island) - TRANSPARENCY IN ALL THINGS!

Cons

I truly do not have any cons! Every position comes with hardship, but again - Cardinal has amazing teams in place that will assist in any way they can.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

I appreciate your sentiment around hardship. While it's easy to just do a day to day, it takes real leadership and grit to take challenges head on. After all, if it weren't difficult there wouldn't be any reward!

Pros

I've worked for four student housing companies in the last 10 years and Cardinal remains my #1. I've worked at Cardinal for 3.5 years so far and have gotten 2 promotions and a lot of learning experiences during my time. The ELT of this company truly does care about its team members all the way down to our onsite teams and takes team member feedback to make change. Cardinal truly embraces it's people-first mentality and the culture is unmatched to any another company I have worked for.

Cons

With the rapid growth Cardinal has seen in the last couple of years, there was a time period of many, many initiatives and platforms rolled out at once making it difficult for team members to fully understand and utilize each platform. This continues to be an area of opportunity to create a more positive work experience.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

You really do a great job of speaking to the lightning pace the industry as a whole is operating at. With new needs come new softwares and often times it's completely overwhelming. Regardless, it's refreshing to see that amidst all of that, you are being heard and seen. That goes a long way in helping others to see what it's like to be both at Cardinal and in multifamily. Here's hoping we earn that 5th star from you.
