Pros

At the start of my career I worked as a subcontractor and was able to experience working for all the major General Contractors. It did not take me long to realize that PCL was the best in the business. The employee ownership of the company tied into my goal of working for myself with added benefit of working for one of the largest General Contractors in North America. PCL has a diverse employee group along with access to the most challenging projects to build a career on.

Cons

Recently just celebrated my 11th year of working for PCL. My only regret was not starting here sooner.

PCL Construction Response
