Your title alone makes such an impact on how people perceive Cardinal as an employer. The LMTL role is really where the rubber his the road. You see and feel every change in the industry and still push through to do epic things. Thank you for the time you gave to share.

Love your thoughts here about needing the tools and resources to continue to push for efficiency. Programs like Leo and Entrata are designed to help gather the data, but it's voices like yours that help to sharpen that data into action. If you are willing to do so, I'd like to connect you up with the teams working on the optimization. Shoot me a ping at Nick.Morrison@Cardinalgroup.com

Started Great, Ended Terribly

Community manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Upward mobility is good until you reach Community Manager position, DEI is very active and runs deep in this company. Onsite hiring is left largely to the CM which allows amazing teams to be built.

Cons

inconsistencies with instruction, constantly changing operational and reporting expectations, raises are hard to come by and cost of living adjustments disguised as "merit bonuses" are far from guaranteed and do not keep up with local inflation/CoL
