Pros

Great company to work for ,Vary safety oriented, , decent pay , nice tools , benefits , lots of other professional trades to work with.

Cons

No 15 minute breaks While working in Arizona where the temperature on the slab could reach 120. Only 1 lunch break not paid no cooldown breaks already people have been over heating management stays in air conditioned trailers all day and they come outside for 5 minutes we don't have a lunch room or and cooldown shack for the trades, trades get treated like garbage. People act like mocho men say we don't have to cool off. Management seems to except that this is ok . When I think pcl has much high standards . You should be offered a 15 minute break to cool off.

Pros

The majority of the people who do the day to day tasks are great people. Benefits package is reasonable. Nice fitness facility.

Cons

I work in Business Technology (IT) and the management is terrible. New CIO (2 years ago) has restructured a couple of times and seems to be guessing each time. The BT management does not care about people and newer "yes" people seem to get promoted instead of people actually doing a good job. You will either be expected to work long hours with little reward or will have nothing to do as management does not have a clue what is going on. The management style is by reports as opposed to them actually being involved with whats going on. Even if they attempted to be involved most are not technically capable of understanding. CIO and senior BT managers have no leadership skills or vision.

I am disappointed that your opinion of our Business Technology management team is negative. Any changes that have taken place are intended to ensure that the needs of our stakeholders continue to be exceeded. As a PCL employee, I encourage you to take advantage of the internal feedback options available and we will continue to grow and improve!
