Pros

Generally great coworkers willing to put in the time. Provide co-op students with work placements

Cons

Poor management style, no leadership in pre-construction, waste huge amounts of money bringing people from overseas, then forget about them. They are not open to creative solutions or evolving. They just want it done the old fashion, "PCL way."

Pros

Employees are motivated to put in extra effort to ensure the success of their projects as all salary employees have the ability to participate in the employee ownership program. After just a couple of years of purchasing the stock that has been offered, my annual dividend check is a huge boost to my total compensation- not enough to compensate the long hours though (see below).

Cons

Management often under staffs the projects in an effort to cut costs but leads to extra long hours for employees- frequent long uncompensated hours. Expect to be asked to relocate as the company works in most areas of the US and Canada. Rapid growth into new markets has lead to an influx of employees from other companies. One of the best things about the company has been the 100+ years of experience, expertise, and practices that have been developed, but this has become lost in the last few years through the rapid growth. Has lost sight of the small family company that it had just 5 to 19 years ago
