Pros

Great health benefits - second to none. Paid about $60/mo. with a deductible of about $500.

Cons

Base Salary is quite lower than competition as you're expected to invest in the company. Little concern for work-life balance - common for Superintendents, Field Engineers, Project Engineers, and PMs to work over 70 hrs/wk.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. PCL prides itself on providing rich benefit plans to our employees so we are glad to see that you agree! We want to assure you that there is no pressure for our employees to invest when they receive an offer to purchase shares. Your district manager and district HRPD manager would be happy to speak with you about this, and your concerns with work-life balance, should you wish to reach out to them.
