Pros

Because of their size, projects available to PCL are second to none

Cons

The way the company is structured, moving to another district is a pre-requisite for advancement. As such, there is a revolving door in management over a given time in a district.

PCL Construction Response

Thanks for your feedback! We are also very proud of our diverse project portfolio. Mobility is a core part of our business and a way for PCLers to gain unique experiences in the various markets that we operate in. We will continue to strive towards seamless transitions when these management changes occur. All the best!

Don’t care if their people die

Pros

Life insurance is 4 times your salary which your family will need when this company kills you. PCL= People Come Last

Cons

During COVID 19 they will NOT let their employees work from home. Even when they are exhibiting symptoms of the virus. They do not care for the livelihood of their people. Terrible company. Everyone can die as long as they make money.

PCL Construction Response

The type of situation you describe is not aligned to PCL’s commitment to safety and our people. As of March 17, PCL implemented a company-wide work from home strategy, which advises employees to work remotely. Construction continues to be considered an essential service by our governments and as such various positions are not conducive to remote working. Consequentially, PCL does have in place very strict job-site polices which are intended to keep people safe. What you describe is not aligned with our commitment to safety, so I encourage you to provide details via our confidential ethics hotline or reach out to us at glassdoor@pcl.com.
