Working part-time as an intern definitely has the potential to feel as though you are disconnected from the larger organization, I can completely empathize with that. As an intern early in my career, I often felt as though the temporary nature of my role was relatively insignificant when in reality, you as a student/resident TM are truly the most valuable member of the team. Let's be honest, in the context of student housing, you are literally our client. I'm hoping that if you choose to return to Cardinal or seek full-time work with us here, you'll see that through our summer development programs, Intern career fairs, and career mapping sessions, we're serious about laying out the potential for a career in this industry. Until then, best of luck in all you do.

Pros

Cardinal is a special place to work. The commitment to team member experience and adherence to the core values drives the organization. Leadership is engaged and aligned. Cardinal's leadership is committed to doing the right thing, providing an open forum for the best ideas regardless of the position someone holds, and obsessed with its team members. If you want to be part of a team that is driven to work hard, to support each other, and to win, Cardinal is the place for you.

Cons

The commitment to continuous improvement makes it hard to find a con.

I heard someone say today that in our industry, the only way we will be able to truly serve residents and ownership groups as third-party managers are through the insight and experiences of our teammates. I'm thrilled to hear you verbalize your personal commitment to being obsessed with those you work with and your passion in being a partner in their success. We have a long way to go in being the best place to work for anyone in any industry, but having leaders like you up and down the org chart who are committed to each team member is going to be the secret weapon in us getting there.

You touch on something that's pervasive in our industry; the further your path, the more limited the opportunities become. That's the problem with the structure you find at most of the older companies in our space. They narrow as they get to the top. I can tell you from my own path from leasing to People and Culture has had many turns and corners along the way. Like many others here, I found though that at Cardinal, our structure and our breadth of companies present quite a few opportunities to finally find a role where you can truly bring your whole true self to work each day. The trick here is that we have to deprogram ourselves in thinking that a corporate role is the pinnacle of all roles. The trick is to pursue growth and knowledge in a way that speaks to who you are and what you can bring to others. Enter our Talent Advisors. Let's get you paired up with the team so we can explore what role is going to bring you the most satisfaction, then work together to get you there. Ping us at Recruiting@Cardinalgroup.com
