Pros

Share program creates a work environment that promotes team work. Compensation for working away from home. Excellent in house courses to help build skills that will further your career. Good benefits. Will match your pension contribution. Reward you for good performance and dedication.

Cons

There are long hours. Some locations expect casual overtime with less compensation than other locations. Currently the the company is giving working notice of layoff rather than paying severance seems like the company is looking out for there bottom dollar rather than the well being of it's people.

Thank you for this review and great advice regarding being upfront and providing feedback on performance. While not used very often, we actually see working notice as a great example of being upfront and helping employees prepare for the future. Thanks again for the review.

Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad that your time at PCL was rewarding. As for our dress code policy, this is outlined in our company intranet (PCL Connects) and our New Employee Information Guide so there shouldn't be any confusion surrounding this. We will be sure to reiterate this policy to our HRPD teams so that we are all on the same page. All the best!
