      Pros

      Dynamic and fast paced. Professional development is encouraged and promoted. Organization is not hampered by red tape. Values are amazing and so is company culture. Best place to work.

      Cons

      Construction schedules are demanding. Trying to implement work-life balance, but it's difficult given the industry norms and imporatance of face time.

      Pros

      Great learning experience, big fat pay cheques, always busy, days go by fast, recommend this company for apprentices as a learning experience.

      Cons

      Long days, back breaking work, very dangerous situations, exposed to all weather conditions, as well as exposed to low IQ's and retarded schedule pushes (but that's not a PCL problem as much as it is a industry problem), no life outside of work - you WILL be working Saturdays, became a CLAC company in Calgary.

      Pros

      Being employee owned is a bonus. Internal Company website is very well done. Year end bonuses with stock options

      Cons

      Civil division: Heavy workload for salary employees. Site management is lean and site office personnel are "expected" to supervise hourly craft. Long list of office requirements are still expected to get done while site supervision is constant. Weekly internal cost management and subcontractor superision is on top of PCL hourly crew micro management. Work hrs are at 65hrs constantly to keep up with paperwork for internal and DOT. Yearly bonuses do not compensate for extended hours.
