Property got sold and they literally abandoned the on-site teams

Pros

Being managed by the company was great, communication with cell leadership was amazing and training opportunities. A lot of room to express creativity.

Cons

As soon as our property was sold and we were told it would be a few months until it was finalized, all of our cell leadership changed and we were essentially left to the wolves with no direction as to if we were going to have jobs in a few months. We were told the talent team would reach out to help us find new roles and no one ever did. Loved working for the company but as soon as the property was sold it was clear we were never valued.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

I'd argue that the true test of a company in this space is what someone like you who chooses to save the day of others has to say about the company that takes care of you! I think what you have to say is going to help so many people looking for a career that aligns with their personal ethos find a home here at Cardinal.

Pros

Working at Cardinal Group has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company truly prioritizes its people and fosters an environment of inclusivity and collaboration. The culture here is second to none—it's clear that they value their team members as individuals, not just employees. Leadership is approachable, supportive, and always encourages personal and professional growth. There's a strong sense of community, and you're given the tools and autonomy to take ownership of your work. It feels like everyone is working toward a common goal, and it’s inspiring to be part of a company that invests in its people in meaningful ways.

Cons

I haven't encountered any significant cons during my time at Cardinal Group. Every company has areas to improve, but my experience here has been overwhelmingly positive. The leadership team is open to feedback, which helps address any concerns quickly.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

Your thoughts around working with and for each other is really inspiring, especially with your proximity to leaders of the team. So happy your experience has been a rewarding one.
