Pros

Employee Owned - Salaried staff have the opportunity to become owners with real shares that pay great dividends! Tons of potential to grow your career.

Cons

It can be a challenging working on world class projects! PCLers care about what they do and how they do it.... if you want an easy place to coast, this is not it.
