Pros

They have a full gym in the basement. Good benefits. Really great work environment with lots of support from peers. Best part of working there is the relationships you build. Management is great at taking care of its employees. Good work events and parties. The best I've ever heard of!

Cons

In order to get a competitive salary you need to work there for minimum 5 years and pay into their employee owned shares. Base salary is pretty low in my field. Lots of hierarchy and layers of management telling you how to do your job.

Thank you for your review! It's great to hear that you're enjoying PCL's work environment and that you feel supported by your management team. We recently released a great video that goes into detail about how base salaries fit into our total compensation package - we encourage you to check it out on PCL Connects (our company Intranet) or ask your district HRPD manager for more information about this.
