Pros

I enjoyed working with a number of the people at PCL, and continue to keep in touch with many of them. The health insurance is one of the best in the country. We did some amazing projects. They are great builders.

Cons

My pay was way below market value, I went somewhere else and am making 35% more than I was there. I put up with it because I was sold that there was so much opportunity, but it never came to fruition for me. When I decided I was going to leave they tried to talk about what they could do for me at that point to keep me, but I had already committed elsewhere, and I didn't feel that was the time to try to make employees happy. We also were always short staffed, and managing much more than we should have with the staff.

Pros

Good people, decent pay, good benefits, and profit sharing.

Cons

Required to work 40 hours per week, but frowned upon if you work less that 55. Most work 60+. High stress work sometimes creates tension between employees.

Thank you for your review. We couldn’t agree more that PCL has great employees and their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed! I spoke with your HR manager and she would love to discuss your concerns further and also get insight on ways to improve our onboarding program. Her door is always open!
