Pros

Lots of training, you get to pick health benefits based on your needs, you are kept in the loop as to corporate and district activities, opportunity to grow as much as you want, very exciting work, help is available, team environment, mobility, flexibility in terms of schedule, work from home IT capability

Cons

Coming into PCL mid career takes a gigantic leap of faith and lots of patience as it is like taking a career step back for a few short years. You have to join with the intent of partcipating in the share ownership program as salaries and bonuses are a notch or two lower than the norm (share ownership more than makes up for this, eventually). My view is that the excessive emphasis placed on rewarding long term commitment negates recognition due for past experience when bringing 'outsiders' 'in' . Vacation is way behind the times, I had to give up vacation time to join PCL, since it takes 10 years to gain an additional week I will basically NEVER get to the maximum amount of vacation since I will be retired before this is possible! It's kind of like being penalized for not joining the organisation sooner (yes, I tried to negotiate albeit unsuccessfully).

Pros

Good work life balance Strives to be industry leader Safety is THE top priority Good group of people to work with

Cons

Could be a little more competitive with compensation. Share program is not what it used to be / what it was described to be by long-term employees.
