PCL Construction reviews

Historically and generally speaking, leaders get down in the trenches and work WITH you, while bosses bark orders AT you without having a clue what you actually do. PCL only has bosses on the corporate side, no leaders. The corporate side is not a place to grow your career or develop your skills, it's a place for your skills to dull and rust. In the short term the employee ownership model encourages great work, in the long term it rewards checking out to just sit back and collect stock dividend checks until you retire. Corporate salaries might(?) be "competitive" within the industry, but if you're on the corporate side, chances are your skills can apply to ANY industry and you'll get a massive pay raise if you leave construction. Lots of infighting and teams working against each other, especially in the dynamics between the Canadian and American regions. Role clarity and job expectations don't exist, I was told they're "coming soon" though.

Limited Office Time: Field engineers may have limited time in an office setting, which can impact collaboration with colleagues and access to resources. Limited Variety: Depending on the specific internship, you may be focused on a narrow range of tasks or projects. Entry-Level Compensation: Interns often receive lower pay compared to full-time employees.
