Pros

- Shares pay good if you bought in early, now they offer less and less

Cons

- Dividends are diluted with the company growth. The share price hasn't gone up in years, therefore your investment is actually shrinking with inflation. They pay everything out as a dividend right now, which helps the aging managers and not new employees. - They use shares as an excuse not to provide market competitive salaries -Micro management at all levels - Forcing everyone into the office during covid19 so they can micromanage people again. Alberta added full covid restrictions the same week PCL sent everyone back - No covid compromises. If you have a kid or family member with health complications, they don't care - Bullying is allowed and encouraged.

PCL Construction Response

Thank you for sharing your opinions on this platform. I do recommend that you continue to educate yourself on the employee share program as I expect your views may change - I am also available to discuss with you if you like. Please reach out. More importantly, we have strict safety procedures in place that are in line with government regulations, while also working to accommodate our employees’ unique needs on a case-by-case basis. PCL also has zero-tolerance for bullying so this allegation is very concerning to me. Please contact myself or your HR manager directly so we can discuss your concerns, or you can report this to our confidential ethics helpline at 1-800-461-9330
