Pros

- shares - experience - reputation - some good employees/mentors that shine when allowed the chance

Cons

I worked at PCL for less than two years and in that time I was sexually harassed, verbally abused, and discriminated against for my mental health. My boss frequently stole credit and bullied her team into working weekends. Human Resources themselves admitted they have no power in their role and their recommendations are often ignored. This old boys club is overrun with nepotism, hostility, classism, and sexism, which is why EllisDon has been picking up what it leaves behind.

PCL Construction Response

We are extremely concerned by these allegations. We strongly encourage you to provide some more details confidentially via our confidential ethics helpline at 1-800-461-9330 so we can investigate this immediately.
