Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We couldn’t agree more that PCL provides our employees with endless opportunities. At PCL, we encourage all our employees to drive their own professional development, and part of this includes opportunities to travel to new and exciting places across North America. Being mobile allows us to go where the best projects are and it’s important for us to support employees and their families throughout the transition should they choose to relocate on a short-term or long-term basis.

Large company there were some culture issues with the company. Could slightly improve in this area. Some management styles would differ in different departments of the company.
