You probably know better than most that if you can't create fun in this industry, you run the risk of quickly being run over by the fast pace and personal interactions in the on-site leadership role. Keep on crushing it and know you have people like yourself all across the country who are emotionally bought into your success.

Pros

I have loved my time with Cardinal so far. Absolutely love HQ (corporate staff) and the way they interact with their team members. They truly want each team member to succeed the best way possible. My PSM, Andrew, is truly amazing. Quick to answer questions, provide recommendations, and support when needed! Also, tons of room for growth and development within the company!

Cons

We've had a lot of issues site level that I feel HQ doesn't really care to address as long as your community is doing well. There's a lot of turnover in this industry, so team members come and go very often. There's many people from HQ that provide support, yet others just want to mold you into exactly what they want you to be. My trainerfrom HQ didn't care to get to know me or my leadership styles or ideas at all.
