Pros

Not only is the opportunity for growth and advancement here outstanding, but you will have the best support team around you as well. The people at Advocate are some of the most supportive I’ve ever met.

Cons

None at all. Truly the best workplace I have ever experienced.

Thank you for providing feedback on your experience working for Advocate Construction. We appreciate your openness and assure you that we take all critiques seriously. Thanks for noticing the new trucks! We have invested considerably in our company resources, and the trucks are easy to spot. Additionally, we made a significant investment in training and development to be even better at helping people become more productive versions of themselves. We went into our Brookfield office expecting to see bongs and music posters, smell stale beer, and hear snoring on a couch, but your frat house experience differs from ours. You must be referring to the feeling of camaraderie among the team. While this can be intimidating as a new person/outsider, the bonds among co-workers are strong, and if you’re looking for a place to be celebrated for your work, you’ve found it. Door to Door sales sucks only for those who remain afraid of it or let the stigma of 1950s high-pressure sales tactics shape their perception. The reality is that telemarketing, direct mail, flyer drops, radio advertising, TV, magazines, and SEO are much less effective and allow others to control our growth pace. If we did what everyone else thinks we should do, we would not have an annual compound growth rate of 32% and would not have added four new sales managers from internal candidates this year. We wish you the best in your career. Anyone who spends enough time with us to truly see our entire organization typically sees us for who we are, which is far better than a one-star employer.

Pros

Good pay, good people, learn a lot about yourself.

Cons

Door to door sales with no training. Results oriented and if you’re struggling you’re pushed out.

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback with us. We agree that great people and competitive pay are two of the many factors that set our organization apart from the rest. We are, however, disappointed to hear that your training experience was unsatisfactory. Training and development are at the heart of everything we do at Advocate Construction. This is why we offer an initial training session for new hires, followed by continuous one-on-one training in the field. We also regularly hold training meetings within each market in order to share best practices, give and receive guidance, and have fun getting to know one another. If this was not your experience, or if you feel that this training did not leave you with adequate support, we ask that you please contact us by emailing hr@advocateconstruction.com. We would appreciate the opportunity to learn from your time with us, as we are always looking for ways to improve as a company.
