Pros

Used to be a family atmosphere, people used to care about each other.

Cons

Executives are only interested in their share returns. PCL is now like any other large company employees are just numbers and you are promoted because of who you are friends with not how well you perform. Good old boy network.

Pros

Stock options, benefits, and most of the people are great employees looking to improve the company. If employee surveys were taken seriously the district would be in better standing.

Cons

Terrible culture, and terrible district manager.

Pros

Large company with a very good reputation. Worked on some high profile jobs and many of the people were great to work with.

Cons

Work / life balance is out the window. Start off with low wage and their excuse is employees can take advantage of the share program. Share program is good, but they seem to forget the employee has to buy the shares to begin with so doesnt become beneficial for a few years, meanwhile you are in major debt. Claim to want to best, most experienced people but quickly lay-off the long term employees when things slow down to keep the lower wage new employees. District manager ran the office like his own little boys club....if you weren't a part of his club then you were treated like crap.
