Pros

PCL's culture and how they help the communities they reside in

Cons

Management has no strategy and the office politics are insane. More focused on the brand/image than employees. Best decision I made was to leave the organization!

Pros

The job pays the bills. They will hire anyone of the streets.

Cons

Lots of cry babies. Everyone is watching each other. Waiting for someone to make a mistake. So they can rat you out. I was there 11 years. Lots of white people in the office who hate everyone. HR is a joke. The workers have more experience than the supervisor. They will fight you for your unemployment. Your best friend there is really your worst enemy. Everyone puts each other down. No appreciation or respect. You have to buy food and cigarettes for your Foreman to get a raise. I didn't put up with none of this. That's why I'm gone. PRIDE .
