Pros

Pay was competitive. A lot of responsibilities. Trusted

Cons

OM would be forgotten when celebrations occurred for milestones. OMs put in many hours and did lots of extra things to be sure everything was in line. When celebratory items, i.e. jackets, radios, sweatshirts, etc. were purchase, OMs were not included, except to place orders for food, etc.

PCL Construction Response

We appreciate your feedback! Office managers go above and beyond and are equally deserving of recognition. If you provide further details at glassdoor@pcl.com that would be helpful to provide this constructive feedback to the appropriate location.
