Pros

Cardinal is a company that TRULY stands by their mission and core values! I have been very impressed with how this company supports its employees (especially during COVID-19!) and tries to make property management FUN! The communication between HQ and team members is great - I never feel like I'm in the dark about what is happening with "upper management." Cardinal also places an emphasis on family time/personal time as a top priority for team members and encourages use of PTO and downtime! I've NEVER seen that with other corporations (I've also worked for ACH and Greystar). I really feel valued at this company!

Cons

Sorry, but I can't think of even one!

Really really good point here. In practice, the performance review has at best been lackluster and know that your voice here has been heard and is actionable. Our HR team has been drafting up a revamped review process which will be administered by your team lead through UltiPro. In the meantime, it's completely appropriate for you to ask you team lead to complete the existing performance review workflow. We'll be happy to make the assist to ensure you are getting the recognition you deserve for your hard work.
