PCL Construction reviews

Worked in estimating department and left because of the disgustingly hypocritical and disrespectful employees, especially within the HR and estimating departments. Favoritism and discrimination are at every corner and there is absolutely NO growth within the company. Unless you are a white male, you are very much screwed and always disrespected. PCL says they are an inclusive company and that’s just false advertisement. They are sexist and would always choose males over females, even when females have superior knowledge and experiences. The estimating team shows little to no respect, and they expect you to remain enthusiastic, maintain your momentum, and take initiatives even after undervaluing their employees to the highest degree. To anyone planning on working here, I advise you to read all the negative comments/reviews because they are the most honest ones, and they will save you your valuable job application time. I kept hearing miserable and immoral stories from past and current employees and they just add to how terrible and unethical the PCL Vancouver office people are. Before joining I didn’t believe all the comments saying PCL stands for “People Come Last,” however now that I have worked there, I couldn’t agree any more with the statement.

Pay was not nearly enough, and upon the promotion, the raise made me laugh! It seems the specific groups were part of a click and communication to other groups didn’t exist. Management did not participate in the implementation of safety programs, and the carrots they dangled kept me hoping that it would get better but i eventually quit to greener pastures! Although i was hired as a full time staff it was only if they had current projects otherwise i was asked to take time off without pay!
