Pros

PCL has a dynamic culture that encourages it employees to grow and thrive. PCL believes in enabling its employees, allowing them to manage and maintain the business, freeing up management to focus on growing the business. As PCL is an employee owned company it's employees have a vested interest in the success of not only the company but each other, creating a network of employees who encourage and mentor each other. Employees are constantly challenged with new ideas, concepts and work allowing them to progress their knowledge at a much faster rate while constantly being supported by the network of mentors in order to succeed.

Cons

The work environment at PCL can be fast paced and challenging, those who do not take the initiative and responsibility for their work may find themselves overwhelmed.

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.

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.
