Vantaggi
PCL is one of the best companies to work for in Canada. They consistently make top employer lists across North America for a reason. The areas that PCL excels in are: Organizational Culture - PCL's culture is something that needs to be experienced to really be described. The company is committed to safety, inclusion, employee satisfaction and continuous learning. From what I have experienced, most PCLers are driven, passionate, friendly and generous. PCL's well defined values and mission established by the company's founder Ernie Poole, allow recruiters to choose candidates that share similar values. Compensation/Benefits - The base pay is competitive for construction industry standards, but average compared to salaries for similar roles across industries. The benefits program is great, and the share program is an amazing perk. The share program really encourages employee commitment and ownership - both necessary to achieve high levels of organizational performance. The vacation is not great but average, 3 weeks, which is enough for me. Training - There is an excellent training program called the College of Construction. Ethics - Very ethical company (they have an excellent reputation for a reason). Communications - Executives and management are fairly transparent with employees when organizational changes occur, or when PCL is mentioned in media stories. Mentorship - PCL is own for their excellent mentorship program and developing employees in their careers. Altruism - PCL is always being recognized for their contributions to communities through volunteerism, and charity. They donate millions of dollars to the United Way each year. PCL's dedication to improving our society makes me proud to be a PCLer.
