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.

Cardinal Group Companies Response

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

Despite the struggling economy, the company provides a stable job and steady income, which is a positive factor.

Cons

The main issues with this company seem to be a lack of employee dedication, a focus on resident events over consistent customer service, and a management team that is more concerned with meetings than supporting their staff until trouble arises from the top leadership. Many employees appear to have a transactional mindset focused on paychecks rather than building a career. Additionally, the company's review process seems ineffective and not taken seriously. Overall, it seems the company's core values exist more as empty words than as guiding principles put into practice.
