Thank you for your review. We are pleased to see that you found value in our networking, benefits, and professional development opportunities. However, we are disappointed that your experience at PCL didn't reflect our values. Most recently we launched a few new leadership courses across the company to ensure our managers have the right tools to effectively support our employees.
