Beyond happy I ended up at Cardinal Group

Assistant community manager

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a real focus put on employee success and growth that I have not experienced at other property management companies I have worked for. You truly feel like a valued part of the team and it is apparent from day one that the company wants you to be there. You're not just a number at Cardinal Group, you are a part of the team.

Cons

There can be some unnecessary meetings/trainings/seminars/etc. but not a huge deal by any means.

YES! You are so much more than just an employee number! As a company, we value the experiences that each individual brings to the team to help us (and in turn, you) grow! Thank you for all your dedication and hard work to making our company the BEST place to work!

Team member recognition is something you are 100% right about. Too often in our industry, we find ourselves as being the problem-solvers for residents, teams, and ownership groups alike - all this with rarely getting recognition for a job well done. I'm hoping that in the coming months, you'll see the efforts currently being developed to roll out on a national scale. In the meantime, know that I see you and appreciate all you have done to make the community a success. In the time of Covid and all the growth, you've shown that you are truly a Cardinal hero both to me and to your residents.

Not all feedback is positive, but it's feedback like yours that gives us all some better insight. As a maintenance team member, you are literally the muscle and heart of what we do and 100% deserve to be rewarded both personally and professionally. I'm hoping that in the coming weeks and months, you'll get the opportunity to see those rewards.
