Business Outlook

Pros

They are very focused on providing opportunities for further education and to be promoted within the company.

Cons

They suffer from the typical middle-management stuff - too many people getting hired for unnecessary positions that only serve to create more work for the on-site teams. It eventually became that all day every day was taken up with reports and meetings rather than being able to actually take the time to properly run the property.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

You are well on to the crux of modern business. Who has the ability, and therefore the responsibility to add into the culture each day vs be a potential roadblock? I'm hoping that you'll see the upcoming automation - specifically in reporting is going to help cut your time and give you back the ability to lead from behind and then utilize members of the cell teams to help you realize your goals. I can't thank you enough for pausing to leave your thoughts here and remain hopeful we'll earn that 5th star from you soon.

An overall negative experience

Business Outlook

Pros

You meet some great people in HQ.

Cons

Overall, this was an extremely negative experience. The company’s core values sound great, but they’re definitely not upheld onsite. And don’t try going to anyone about this because they simply won’t listen. There is no room for creativity and you will eventually be bullied out if you stand out from your peers. There is absolutely no work/life balance because you will never get the time off that you need and you’ll have to work weekends and late.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

Listen is such a powerful word to use in a review and I hope you see by this response that someone is indeed listening. Negative experiences are obviously not the goal here, but you've given some good, actionable insight into what the experience is like for people like you who after all are the most important part of the overall equation. I'm hoping that we can do better by and for you as time goes on and earn back your stars.

Pros

They come out and work directly with employees Good commission

Cons

Not as diverse as could be

Cardinal Group Companies Response

Glad to hear your experience was a positive one while at Cardinal and I especially like what you have to say about diversity not being what it could be. Given our whole business is people-facing, it's impossible to continue to improve unless we look, talk, act, and feel like the people who call Cardinal home whether that's from the office chair or the couch in their apartments. I'm hoping that through our business resource groups, DEI council, and open forums on currents, we can make you proud and earn that fifth star.
