Pros

PCL is a great place to start learning and building your career. I would recommended this company to anyone really wanting to learn. You do not have a structured learning process or structure with mentors, so you really get out of it whatever you put in. Benefits are great, salaries are not known for bein great. Performance is reviewed on a structured basis which is very helpful.

Cons

As with most construction companies, your flexibility and willingness to move are assumed. You will need to be open to that. Salary like I mentioned is not great and there is no transparency. The company is definitely only concerned with making money. Share offers can be great, however, upper management has it's own set of shares with higher quantity and much higher return which is, in my opinion, disgusting. Promotions are typically slow in San Diego district as there are quite a few people but not enough jobs to support everyone moving up or advancing.
