Pros

They stand by their core values and live them in their daily lives. Promote within! Like minded, yet so diverse. Positive environment and support from HQ.

Cons

Not many cons come to mind, but you are looking at many training calls and ownership calls. Not a bad thing though just time consuming.

Definitely hear what you are saying RE training and ownership calls. I hope though that you find that in each, you are able to use your voice to continue to make Cardinal the best operating group in the country! Thanks for all you do.
