Pros

I will have to say that I think very highly of Cardinal Group Management as my time here as been nothing but enjoyable. Cardinal Group has created an atmosphere around their employees that encourage learning and growth with multiple paths to take. I feel like I have created many long lasting relationships that extend past the workplace and in doing so, it has made my Cardinal Journey more enjoyable and fun. I do think that this company is very diverse and offers many opportunities for all voices to be heard.

Cons

As much as I love where I work and who I work with, I do think that there is too much praise given to specific cells or individuals based off of numbers (which I understand) and not enough focus or support given to groups that have smaller scale completed goals. Cardinal Group is a praise focused company.
