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.
