Pros

PCL Share Ownership Program - when you buy shares here at PCL you become a partial owner of PCL. Owners care a great deal for in their investment - being and employee at PCL as well as being a partial owner of PCL has a compounding effect on the bottom line. Overall PCL success results in a higher dividend for partial owners like me and the people working here. Everyone truly cares about their jobs as well as their investment in PCL.

Cons

For me the biggest Con would be the location of some of our industrial offices. They aren't always in the most glamorous of places, but once you're inside the office it's kind of hard to really see the location around you anyway. My second biggest Con at PCL is the IT/Support services at PCL. It seems like they're either understaffed or under motivated. It can be hard to get something fixed quickly even in the event of an emergency deadline.
