Pros

Nice truck as a vehicle.... That is it and of course you are renting it

Cons

Bad management obsessed with learning a 10 sentence script and even after you learn it... Then they focus on the horseshit gps crap that just tracks you... If you are even a couple days behind; because most management is inexperienced; they fire you. Lets fire someone that may be 1-2 away from knowing almost everything about the business because it isn't that difficult.

We view all feedback as a gift, as it grants us the opportunity to correct factually inaccurate claims and highlight our ongoing commitment to a high-performing team culture that rewards top performers. Regarding our truck program, we follow IRS rules related to the management of this fringe benefit. Our team members in the field are outfitted with a company truck for both professional and personal use, saving wear and tear on their own vehicles and, in many cases, eliminating the need to maintain a personal vehicle altogether. We are constantly turning over our fleet; many of our vehicles are 2025 or newer, with the oldest being a 2022. As is the case with virtually every company-owned fleet in the country, our vehicles are outfitted with GPS for safety and logistics. Furthermore, the details of this program are discussed thoroughly during the interview process—every candidate is fully aware of these terms before accepting a role. In any professional sales organization, mastering a 'script' is a fundamental component of training and development. It ensures our team members are equipped with the consistent knowledge needed to communicate our value proposition effectively. Once a representative becomes proficient, the script becomes a natural and seamless piece of their professional communication. Advocate Construction is the 21st largest roofing company in the nation with an A BBB rating because we value accountability and professional standards. If you believe you have a legitimate concern, please reach out to us at hr@advocateconstruction.com.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you recognize the high earning potential and "golden" opportunities available here for those who are driven to succeed. Our merit-based model is specifically designed to ensure that individuals who consistently create wins have access to some of the highest earning potential in the industry. We recognize the vital importance of training our newest sales team members, particularly because we provide life-changing opportunities for those with no prior sales experience who possess the drive to learn our systems. To support this, our new compensation model provides clear behavioral targets for both reps and Team Managers. These targets are used as a direct training tool to ensure accountability and to provide a transparent roadmap for success from day one. This performance-driven framework allows our managers to focus on high-level coaching and unlocking results for every team member. We maintain an "open hand" policy and are prioritizing ongoing two-way communication to ensure our team clearly understands their path to success.

Pros

You can have a job that pays bills.

Cons

Management has gone downhill for years. Experienced leaders left, and younger staff stepped up while carrying forward the worst habits of the old managers. Jobs aren’t profitable anymore because of constant mistakes—bad build info, angry homeowners, and contractors who don’t care to fix poor company decisions. Morale is extremely low. If you quit, leadership will try to blackball you from the industry. They’ve even contacted companies to talk badly about people who left, and pressured sales reps who started their own businesses into shutting them down. The mission statement about being “an excellent company in which to do business” is a flat-out lie. The focus is profit over quality every time. Employees can make 30–50% more at other roofing companies with far less stress and toxicity. Even current leadership knows things are broken—directors and top level production members have openly said they’re looking elsewhere. The whole system is crumbling because executives prioritize their vacations, houses, and cars instead of building a solid company. If you don’t drink their Kool-Aid, you’ll be ostracized. This company is diseased from within and deserves the collapse it’s facing.

This review is flat-out false. To be clear: • It is false that we blackball former employees. We do not call other companies to “talk badly” about people. • It is false that profit comes before quality. Our mission and core values put quality, safety, and integrity at the center of every project. • It is false that jobs are “no longer profitable” due to mistakes. Our teams deliver thousands of successful projects each year with strong customer satisfaction. • It is false that leadership “knows the system is crumbling.” We’ve been consistently recognized as a Top Workplace by the Chicago Tribune, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, USA Today, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel based on independent, confidential employee surveys. • It is false that we are a “toxic” or “diseased” workplace. We invest heavily in career development programs and in Advocate Cares, our nonprofit sponsorship program that gives back to the community. We encourage anyone reading this to look at the many positive employee reviews—or better yet, speak directly with one of our current team members. Independent, third-party surveys have consistently recognized us as a top workplace, and our employees take pride in what they accomplish here. Not everyone will love what we do or love working here—that’s true for any company. Still, this review has us scratching our heads, because it simply doesn’t reflect the culture, values, or results our team experiences every day.
