A fantastic opportunity to work for a great company

Claims representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay was excellent! Even just the weekly draw (taken from commission later) was best pay I’d ever gotten. The benefits are even more impressive; great insurance (though a little pricey), tons of opportunities for bonuses, a yearly vacation for top performers and those who refer new talent, and generous compensation for using your truck for work. The company culture is fantastic; everyone from the CEO to your fellow new guys and gals are eager and happy to see you succeed. You’re selling a genuinely great service that has no real downside.

Cons

It is door to door sales. The company standard is 5 claims (closes) a week, so there’s a lot of no’s in between yes’s. It’s tough, lonely, and *requires* self-motivation, so make sure you’re ready for that. If you’re working for a newer branch, there’s likely to be really long turnaround on commissions. It’ll get better with time, but there’s a lot to get established first.

I learned a lot at Advocate Construction

Outside sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Advocate is a great opportunity for someone entering the workforce for the first time or just looking for a career change, the Managers at Advocate train you to work with homeowners to help repair their homes. I learned so many new sales techniques and how to deal with customers overall, I left to a civil position but otherwise this is great place to work, get some exercise and meet some great people.

Cons

Sometimes hours requirements Monday - Friday can leave for less free time, but otherwise still very flexible when needed.
