Good internship opportunities
Oct. 20, 2022 - Digital Designer in Edmonton, ABRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I’ve received great mentorship at PCL, from a variety of colleges.
Cons
The hourly rates and salaries offered is not competitive for entry level positions.

- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Some great people to work with, perks are nice
Cons
Long hours (I was used to 37.5 hrs so not a fan of 40hrs +). A lot of staff turnover. Don’t go to HR with any issue cause they’ll throw you under the bus. Not flexible with work life balance. They boast about their great mental health support, but it’s a farce. They are not supportive at all. It was a great place to work in the beginning but I’m glad I moved on. My mental health and work life balance has very much improved

PCL- People (Employees/ subcontractors) Come Last
Nov. 15, 2022 - AdministrativeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Initial culture appeared positive and hopeful.
Cons
- Expect to be discriminated against with a "healthy" mix of poor work-life balance; - Lied about wage during interview; - Lied about duration of work shift & hours, then expected to transition shift into night shift without discussion; - Did not pay for travel (gas or mileage) or provided a bussing service; - Expect to use your personal phone and own data for work purposes; - Expect to pay out of pocket for all your own support courses unique to the specific job; - Expect to bring your own stationary to work; -Fear driven work culture that incite political or workplace goals through emotional manipulation; - On site training was dismal at best due to ergophobia; - Favour economic company savings over fair wage and proper support supplies; - Accepted TOXIC work environment within the immediate office group; - Unsupportive management and leadership; - Expect to be ostracized or ridiculed if you demonstrate any form of positive human nature. - Treatment of injured workers during incident investigations was… disturbing!
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros

I don't have any problem with the company

Good Work Environment
Oct. 7, 2022 - Field Coordinator in Edmonton, ABRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Lots of company events, great share bonus return, amazing people to work with.
Cons
Sink or swim; if you cant teach yourself and expect to get by with the bare minimum this is not the company for you. Communication skills and speaking up for yourself is a must. Base salary is slightly below average however total compensation is rewarded for long term employees (>8+ years).
PCL Construction Response
Human Resources Specialist, North American Headquarters

We also offer extensive benefits and retirement plans. As you mentioned, being an employee-owner is also very rewarding and allows us to celebrate success together!
