      Probably Great on the Construction Side, A Nightmare on the Corporate Side

      Pros

      The benefits are unmatched compared to any company I've ever worked for, and some healthcare providers I visited literally needed to double check to make sure my benefits were accurate because they were in such disbelief at how great they were. And there are some truly great people there. It's a great place to work if you're fresh out of college and want a medium-sized company on your resume.

      Cons

      Historically and generally speaking, leaders get down in the trenches and work WITH you, while bosses bark orders AT you without having a clue what you actually do. PCL only has bosses on the corporate side, no leaders. The corporate side is not a place to grow your career or develop your skills, it's a place for your skills to dull and rust. In the short term the employee ownership model encourages great work, in the long term it rewards checking out to just sit back and collect stock dividend checks until you retire. Corporate salaries might(?) be "competitive" within the industry, but if you're on the corporate side, chances are your skills can apply to ANY industry and you'll get a massive pay raise if you leave construction. Lots of infighting and teams working against each other, especially in the dynamics between the Canadian and American regions. Role clarity and job expectations don't exist, I was told they're "coming soon" though.
