Business Outlook

Pros

It has a great company culture. The employee ownership model is extremely profitable, especially for employees with +6 years of collecting shares. There is opportunity to move locations (PCL is across North America), and it is often encouraged in slow times. This helps with career growth.

Cons

Downside is the potential for out-of-town work. PCL goes to the work and many large projects are outside of city limits. This is typical of most large contractors.

PCL Construction Response

Thanks for your review. PCL's relocation services team supports the transition of PCLers as they move across North America and Australia. Mobility is an integral part of our culture and allows employees to grow their careers with us.
