Really bad management

Pros

No effort put in for building the Aus team

Cons

Upper management is completely detached from what's going on. There's no student or grad program or new employee support despite saying they want all if not most employees to be raised from students. Retention rate is truly horrendous.

PCL strives to create a positive environment for all employees and it’s disappointing to hear that your experience didn’t reflect this. If you’d like to provide more details regarding your specific situation, please reach out to glassdoor@pcl.com.
