Amazing support and opportunity to bring a voice to change. Hard work gets noticed and promotional advancement can be very quick.

Cons

At this time I don't have any cons.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

Come up with some cons! It's your voice that helps Cardinal Group Companies to be the company it is today, but it's the change your voice helps create that helps us all become the Cardinal Group Companies of tomorrow. Really looking forward to seeing what you bring to the National team.

Pros

After working with a few different property management companies, I was surprised to learn that Cardinal actually practices what they preach. The culture, the people and the experiences I've had really elevate them to the next level. Each person, on site or at HQ, wants you to do well! They have built avenues for you to achieve your goal within the company and outside. Each cell is like a family. I can reach out to any other community manager with questions or my APM or PM. The encouragement given is also unlike other communities. The badges, dashboard and other tools provided create that positive environment as well

Cons

My only "con" was the Initial On-boarding Training. I did begin the position/job during Turn so the timing was hectic and scattered. There was little to no onsite training for me and it left me feeling uneasy when a report was due or a certain Cardinal procedures were completed. I believe they've changed the format for this since my arrival.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

Love the feedback about onboarding. Just because it was turn, doesn't mean there's not an opportunity to give you the tools and resources you need to hit the ground running and be a part of the larger organization. We're taking your comments to heart and are hard at work to make sure we do the right thing... every time.

Pros

The culture, the training, the executive team and on site teams. They are all family. I left due to heavy travel that did not work with my current situation in life. Something told me not to leave, knowing I’d never have another great company in my career. I love the core values and CWOL. I love that Cardinal wants to be sure they find people who believe in them. There’s so much good I can say!

Cons

Traveling was amazing, however, rough when I was going through a new phase in life. Being away from home and not always being in the best situations was rough. Other than that, I loved it. My managers were the best in the industry. When I was a community manager, I also did not have many cons. There is a disconnect from HQ and onsite teams when it comes to culture. Thankfully, the executive team listened to feedback from myself and others and working on it.
