Pros

Some of the most knowledgeable people in the construction industry to work with, the projects we build are in some cases one of a kind, the challenge is always there (you will not be bored), rewarded for your efforts, everyone is willing to help each other, highest safety standards in the industry, technologically advanced and for ever expanding/exploring the use of new and improved technology to help with your tasks and improve productivity. Family comes first. Great benefits. What more can I say It is the best company I have ever worked for. I have been here almost 9 years and still enjoy coming in every morning. Also I may add that the employee turn around (well there is no employee turn around) most people start their carriers with PCL and retire with PCL.

Cons

At this point I feel there are no cons
