Pros

Cardinal values real work life balance giving nearly 4 weeks of paid time off annually to new hires and has a strong benefits package. In my department, using PTO even early on the job is encouraged. They expect a professional work output from their employees but as of yet I don't see a culture that expects overworking or even really rewards it. There's a gym, health clinic, pharmacy, and credit union onsite so it's really convenient. I know a number of people who have worked at Cardinal for years and they all recommend it. Cardinal encourages career and skill development and moving within the company after an appropriate amount of service time - enough to learn and perform your current job with excellence. Compensation is appropriate - not excellent but not poor, and with all the other benefits and potential for growth it is worth taking.

Cons

Training has been a bit slow so there's been times I haven't had a whole lot to do during these first few weeks, but that's normal in many office jobs. The pay could be better considering nearly everyone in the department is a college grad but the starting pay is roughly $30k.

Pros

-Remote (may be slowly moving away) - weekly pay - family-friendly/flexible. I didnt feel pressured to work if I had obligations and needed to take off - good managers

Cons

-team members can be passive agressive on calls/talking over each other or arguing in teams chats, and speak negatively about others on calls. -tech team off shore. Makes it harder to get answers or have to schedule meetings only in the mornings. -no set structure or ground rules on team processes. They change rules on process on the fly. No approvals from leadership -Retention policy is very short. Saving work in multiple places and no real source of truth. - Gaps found after development - Teams lack experienced leaders who genuinely want to help others. -Claim to run agile but doesnt follow it. -not much diversity -benefits through the contracting company were not affordable at all
