Pros

I have worked across several districts and found that the majority of folks employed are typically knowledgeable and team players. The benefits package seems to be pretty on par with many other companies of this size. The ESOP program has been quite profitable in my time with the company and helps offset a potentially lower salary when compared to other companies. Lots of opportunity for career growth but need to be willing to make sacrifices (Relocation and Work Hours primarily).

Cons

It seems the base pay is typically below marker average with the idea that the benefits and ESOP programs will bring employees within and possibly exceeding competitions total compensation. Long work hours seem to be an industry norm but work-life balance would use improvement.

PCL Construction Response

Thanks for your review. At PCL, we use a total rewards compensation strategy consisting of base salary, discretionary performance bonuses, flexible benefits, employee share ownership opportunities, and more to ensure we compensate our employees fairly and reward them for going above and beyond. We also complete research annually to ensure employees are rewarded fairly based on the region. Thank you for helping us build better futures!
