Pros

Weekly pay and that's about it

Cons

Where to start. If your not a sales person than be ready to be treated like a piece of garbage. There's no chance for advancement here. Sales is the pride and joy of this "company" but a majority of them couldn't tell you what 1+1 equals. This is the most unstable company that I have ever witnessed. Management claims to help you advance but that is far from the truth. Management should change their motto to "we'll constantly bring you down and question your ability" cause that's what they're really good at. Management is never wrong. They're quick to point out when people do something wrong but fail to acknowledge when they've dropped the ball. They want you to go above and beyond for the company but refuse to compensate or acknowledge you when you do.

I love the ability to not only work outside but also help customers at the same time. Those who work hard can make lots of money.

Cons

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.
