Opportunities BUT with a Downside

Pros

I would describe Cardinal as a fun, supportive, engaging, realistic, competitive company, with a lot of opportunities to grow.

Cons

My community went through a rough transition, I felt that Cardinal rushed us to get into proper shape and it is hurting us at this point. Steps were missed and simple (but important) things that needed taking care off, were tossed aside for a later time.

Great feedback for transitions. Much like the changing industry, there are so many tools that while similar, have their own nuance that makes it most difficult for the end user. We're taking your words to heart here and your voice has been heard.

Pros

Great leadership starts at the top and can be felt all the way to the site level. There are several programs to keep employees engaged and driven from the DEI initiatives to Mentorship programs and cell group opportunities to stand out and shine. Cardinal invests in their team members who in turn invest in their groups and communities.

Cons

I wish they had more properties around my area.

Pros

Everything about Cardinal is a pro. - Feeling the culture thrive in this place is a great feeling - Amazing benefits and compensation. Cardinal looks out for its people - Supportive leadership - Resources and continued training for days (I have never felt like I was alone on an island) - TRANSPARENCY IN ALL THINGS!

Cons

I truly do not have any cons! Every position comes with hardship, but again - Cardinal has amazing teams in place that will assist in any way they can.

I appreciate your sentiment around hardship. While it's easy to just do a day to day, it takes real leadership and grit to take challenges head on. After all, if it weren't difficult there wouldn't be any reward!
