Pros

Good to work for when you are anonymous

Cons

You are anonymous - a number - large conglomerate that rewards its middle management in singling out and getting rid of employees.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We view our PCL family members as more than just numbers so I am disappointed to see that you feel this way. I invite you to share more details with us at glassdoor@pcl.com so we can try to better address your concerns.

Pros

My favorite thing about working for PCL is how much they care for their employees. I can tell they are really thinking about how I can best be developed as a engineer and future project manager instead of having me just work where they need me.

Cons

It's more of the nature of the type of work than anything - but managing construction goes along with high stress. Fortunately, I am good at managing it, but it's fast paced here.

Thank you very much for this thoughtful review! If you haven't done so already, you might want to check out the E3 100 Leadership development program. The objective of this certification program is to increase the capacity of PCL employees to demonstrate leadership behaviors by providing them with the opportunities, resources, and framework in which to identify, assess, and develop their leadership competencies in the context of two critical business needs: 1. Leading positive change 2. Enhancing PCL's leadership and performance culture Something to think about!
