      Great Company so far and very rewarding

      Pros

      I joined PCL about 7 months ago and my experience has been great. I work in the district office, so my experience is different from the field. People are approachable and I get flexibility here. As long as I get my work done, there is no pushback for me needing to WFH once a week or as needed. Benefits are amazing too. I pay about $90/mo for family health insurance w/ dental and vision included. That's for an HSA plan where my max out of pocket is $3300 and then I pay NOTHING for anything exceeding that. I easily hit that $3300 mark with my kids. Company dividends this year are 50% and projected the same for the next 3 years so it's very profitable for shareholders. Supposedly after 10-years, your dividends will match your salary. So, assuming 10-years from now I'm making 120k, that's an additional 120k dividend on top. We also get end of year bonuses, which I've heard are 5% of salary, but we'll see what it truly is. My schedule is also like 8:30am-4:45pm and I get an hour lunch too. As long as you are getting your work done, nobody will give you any flack

      Cons

      No cons so far. If anything, it's more so that WFH isn't a standard. Instead it needs to be requested. Also, no holiday pay for interns seems whack. 401k match is meh, 4% match to 5% contribution, but at least it's fully vested immediately. No HSA contributions from PCL either.

      No work life balance-Toxic work culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very organized with a system in place applied mainly to all projects.

      Cons

      No work life balance with more than 10 hrs a day work expectations and some work on weekends. No flexibility with micromanagement to get things done with only your managers way. Generating more profit for company and higher managers' stock benefit cheque is the priority not employees' mental health and work-life balance.

      Traditional and stuck in their old ways from 1960

      Pros

      Good benefits and decent salaries

      Cons

      This organization is so stuck in their traditional ways of doing things it is ridiculous. They say they want to change but they definitely do not. Diversity is just for name sake and it is like a old mans club or a mean girls group. Very toxic culture on the inside.
