Pros

Flexible schedule. Easy to move up if they like you.

Cons

Too low key. Sometimes people say things that are really offensive and management doesn't do anything about it. They do not offer raises. The company wastes too much money on stuff we don't need like changing the brand logo. I worry the company isn't going to survive. The benefits are not that great. Two week vacation per year is not enough. They should offer three weeks plus a week of PTO. They don't care about any other employees besides the sales team thats it.

Thanks for the feedback. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all employees, so I’m disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. We value and consider all feedback and we’ll continue to find ways to improve, but I wanted to address a couple of your specific concerns here. First, discriminatory, harassing, or retaliatory behavior is prohibited from coworkers, supervisors, managers, owners, and third parties, including clientele. We take allegations of discrimination, intimidation, harassment and retaliation very seriously and promptly conduct an investigation when concerns are voiced. I encourage you to reach out to our Human Resource department with any concerns you may be having. We are a company that values, appreciates, and recognizes hard work and dedication to one’s career, it’s one of the reasons we promote 100% from within. Salary raises are based on an individual employee’s productivity and work performance. PTO provides employees with the flexibility to use time off to meet personal needs, while recognizing individual responsibility to manage paid time off. It is up to each employee to allocate how PTO days will be used – for vacation, illness, caring for children, school activities, medical/dental appointments, leave, personal business or emergencies. We feel that starting a new employee off with two weeks of PTO is generous, and like salary, can be increased based on the employee’s work performance and productivity. Beyond PTO, for we offer: • Health coverage - Effective on first day of employment • Dental - Effective on first day of employment • Vision Coverage free for all employees and effective on first day of employment • 401K with generous company matching • Paid Holidays • Referral Program Trip – All inclusive, bring a plus one, airfare included • Opportunites for personal and professional growth • Team outings and events We strive to maintain a fun, dynamic, results driven, and caring environment. I’m thankful that you took the time to share your opinion here so that others can become aware of our awesome company culture, generous benefits package, and rich career opportunities. On a personal note, working for a company that you would rate 1 out of 5 stars is a terrible predicament. Please seek help and guidance from management or find employment elsewhere.

If you are willing to put in the time and effort, there aren't many.

Thank you for sharing your experience and highlighting one of the best aspects of a sales career at Advocate Construction. The ability to work outdoors while directly assisting homeowners in our own communities is a major draw for our team. For individuals who enjoy working with the public but are exhausted by the demanding hours and capped earning potential often found in retail, hospitality, or traditional customer service roles, this position offers a refreshing and dynamic alternative where your dedication directly translates to high rewards. We also appreciate your positive feedback on our recently simplified compensation structure. Our current structure of a reliable base salary paired with a robust system of bonuses was designed to reward those who put in the effort and drive results. We strive to support our team members by equipping them with tech-savvy tools, our company truck program, and a supportive culture that values continuous improvement and accountability. We're grateful for your hard work in the Milwaukee market and look forward to celebrating many more of your successes in the field.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for recognizing the strong earning potential available to our sales representatives. In addition to a competitive base salary, PTO and a comprehensive benefits and insurance program, we have built a monthly incentive program designed to generously reward team members for generating leads and bringing on new customers. This allows us to foster an achievement-based environment where earning potential is driven by results in the field and individual contribution. To further support our sales and field operations teams, we offer a company truck program and also equip our teams with modern technology to streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and support success in the field and office. We appreciate your constructive advice regarding communication. We rely heavily on honest perspectives from our team to help us refine our operations, as standing still simply does not align with our culture. Instead, we actively seek out ways to elevate our standards and adapt. We look forward to your continued growth with us.
