Pros

I enjoy the people I work with. All are hardworking and professional. Its an easy going department with lots of things to do. The health benefits are awesome and reasonably priced.

Cons

Not as much flexibility for work schedule to the base of the business aka the office people. Definitely more men in higher positions then women.

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

Money and the Health Spending Account. There is nothing else.

Cons

Complete lack of diversity and inclusion practices, racist jokes (sent by email might I add) and bullying from within the HR team. The worst experience of my life. Way to work people to the bone and crush souls PCLers.
