Great Place for a Career

Pros

Employee ownership creates a great culture. Employees have "skin in the game" and feel like they are part of something. Fair compensation, fun place to work, passionate people.

Cons

This is construction, so work hours can be long on occasion. Some travel is also required at times throughout the year.

Pros

Having worked for a few different companies I can safely say that I have never worked for a company and for a group of managers that cared more for its people. Everyone I work with does everything they can to make you feel like part of the PCL family.

Cons

The construction industry rarely provides the option for a standard 8 hour day. You have to be willing to make the effort to be successful in this industry.

Great Culture, Best Place to Work

Pros

Probably the greatest benefit to working for PCL is the employee ownership model that allows salaried employees to share in the profits of the company. Not only is this a great way of compensating long-term employees, but it is part of the culture that fosters good stewardship of the company and employees that care about the work. PCL is also highly involved with local charities and even allows employees to occasionally volunteer for service during scheduled work days, effectively getting paid to volunteer. I could go on about the great people and culture here, but it is no wonder that PCL has been a regular on Fortune's Best Places to Work list for eleven years in a row. I have thoroughly enjoyed my three years working at PCL and I am so glad that I was able to find my way here.

Cons

The cons are mainly things that are due to the nature of the construction industry in general such as relocation to projects and long hours that may be required to get the work done.
