PCL Construction reviews

Upper management pays you for 40 hours a week, but you are EXPECTED to work overtime everyday. If you leave at 3:30, expect to hear about it. Why should I have to make an excuse to leave after 8 hours? 11-12 hour days are common. Work starts early, ends late. Be prepared to have NO LIFE. Weekend work is not compensated. If you work in the field, be prepared for long commutes as job locations change with projects. The work environment is too militaristic. Expect superiors to talk down to you. No initial training, they will put you on a project and expect results. Poor screening processes by HR in the hiring phase as the employee tasks within the company are not specified, thus leading to incompatibilities between worker skills/expectations and the actual job.

The Denver district is one of the worst but the further you get from it, the better the company culture gets. 55 hours is the minimum they expect you to work but legally they won’t let you record more that 40. There’s no overtime pay, they pay you on the lower end of the pay scale and expect you to “pay dues.” If you stick around for poor treatment for about 5 years you’ll gain enough clout to have upper management’s respect.
