Pros

People are great to work with and very helpful. Great place to work if the job is the right fit for you.

Cons

Time shares are great providing you have the funds to buy them. They want you to not stress out out your job, but they still expect you to get the work done. Long hours out in but not really compensated.

Pros

Great at involving everyone from the field and office. If you need special tools/equipment to get your job down right, there is no questioning it. The safety culture is out of this world. NPCL is great about including your family members in company picnics and other events. Overall a great place to work.

Cons

Its construction, fast paced....some get worried about their next destination. There is some turnover but it seems that it is up to the individual to fit the "PCL" mold/culture.

Pros

-health and benefits are good, very liberal so you can claim all things to do with health or wellness -basis of the company (pooles' rules) are some to live by and it's respectable to do business this way -they've changed their ethics hotline to be managed by a third party so eliminating conflicts or cover ups

Cons

-The base pay isn't comparable to similar companies, and the argument is always the shares are good but similar companies have similar share offerings sometimes better so that argument doesn't hold water. -They are struggling to modernise the company to be more inclusive, right now it's a great place to work for a young man but not as desirable for women. -Higher level positions are a two person job, people holding those positions often their spouses gave up their own careers to help them achieve that level including moving around the country. Which would favour men to be able to reach that level.

Thanks for taking the time to review PCL! It sounds like you've given this a lot of thought and we always appreciate getting such feedback. Your advice to management gives a really strong recommendation. People are at the core of what we do and we need to adapt in a way that keeps our core strong.
