Pros

Autonomy - get to work on a variety of projects with minimal micromanaging from my boss Large Scale Projects - It's cool to work for the company that is essentially re-building our downtown core

Cons

Executives don't seem to understand that the shares aren't really lucrative for newer employees anymore - they're not the biggest draw to the company, which executives seem to think. Not super transparent. And outdated/crappy vacation policy.

PCL Construction Response

Thanks for taking the time to review! Obviously, we’re very proud of the projects we’re working on too! We appreciate your insight about compensation. It’s very valuable to hear what is and what isn’t working for employees.

Pros

Great Company to work for! Work environment incites innovative thinking where employees are engaged (consistently being presented with developmental challenges). We work hard; however, we have fun! Very community minded. We are a Big / Small company that is comprised of all the positive attributes of both.

Cons

I honestly cannot think of any.
