Pros

Company paid outings, kitchen with lots of snacks.

Cons

No time for anything other than work, pressure to get claims as soon as you step in the door,by meetings, calls during the day, reports at the end of your shift. Door to door sales no matter the weather. For the amount of hours you work you make very little money.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience with Advocate Construction. We appreciate your candor, and we take feedback seriously as it helps us continually improve. We're sad to hear that your experience with our door-to-door sales approach did not meet your expectations. Our goal is to create a positive and supportive environment for all our team members, and your feedback is crucial in helping us identify areas for improvement. We understand that door-to-door sales can be challenging, but it is very effective. We typically see very low penetration rates with other marketing methods and find ourselves competing for an appointment time with a homeowner. Eventually, with our territory management strategy, we see our salespeople spend more time responding to inbound calls and experience more and more direct introductions to neighbors from happy customers. It sounds like you were not with us long enough to experience the personal growth that we promise. We love to see the perspective change from doubt in our process, to doubt in self, to conviction in our process, and finally total belief in self. After that, we see our salespeople take advantage of uncapped commissions and unlimited PTO to afford great balance and flexibility in how they approach work and life and the balance they need. Our door-to-door approach is one aspect of our approach that affords us this opportunity. At Advocate Construction, we continuously work to enhance our training programs, provide better resources, and create a supportive culture for our sales team. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to make positive changes.

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.
