I'm hoping to learn more about your negative experience during your time with Cardinal. Would you mind helping me by shooting me an email at Nick.Morrison@Cardinalgroup.com along with your title while part of the organization? I'm not showing that we offer a Marketing Director title outside of our Headquarters here in Denver, so any info you could help with will greatly help me learn more about your situation and take actions to address future pain points.

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!
