Pros

Having PCL on your resume when you go and look for another job

Cons

I worked for this company and left a long term government job to start with PCL. They are a tough company and don't pay very well, but they promised the moon, pay raises, advancement, etc, etc. They expect you to work 10+ hour days and constantly load you with heavy work loads. When it came time for a pay raise, they gave me a token amount which was a joke and the advancements never came, they just kept holding out the carrot for you to keep running after. The Christmas bonuses are a joke. Its often said PCL means "People Come Last" and I would definetely agree with that statement. They really don't care how they treat people since they are Canada's largest contractor, people will always want to work for them. After the second project I worked on came to a close I was laid off and I never looked back. Would I ever work there again? NO Am I bitter, absolutely not, PCL taught me many things which I still feel were excellent in my future career. I would just caution any person taking a job there to get the employment conditions in writing that were discussed in your interview. If they don`t provide it in writing, send them a letter outlining the discussions. They have no issues with blatant lying They talk a good game, but run away
