A good company to work for if you know someone important

Business Outlook

Pros

If you know someone important within the company, your career and pay could skyrocket.

Cons

The pay is not very competitive among the industry, especially for non-construction related supporting staff. They expect you to work for a long time period in order to earn dividend income over time, but again, if you are a supporting staff, your salary and share dividend are incomparable with project managers, superintendent, etc. There are opportunities to move up within the company; however, you must be willing to relocate due to the nature of the business.

PCL Construction Response

Thank you for your review and suggestions. We continually evaluate our compensation strategy and packages to ensure we remain competitive in the market. It is unfortunate to hear about your perception of career advancement at PCL. Our senior leaders and district HR teams continuously work together to promote employees based on performance and merit, and they work with all employees to ensure they are provided with training and experience to help them take their career to the next level.
