Pros

There is a-lot to say about advocate and most of it is good. There is uncapped commission, great people always willing to help, benefits, incentive trips, the world at your finger tips. The best thing i found was the people. The atmosphere was extremely inviting and warm. Almost electric. The work is rewarding and you help people and get paid well to do so.

Cons

Management. Training mostly. Most management is inviting, helpful, and friendly. When interviewed i was told training is going to last for around 90-120 days. That i was going to have a buddy to work with and learn from. This was partly true. The only issue, training was only a couple days with someone and then you are on your own. After a little less than a month of "training" i was informed i was going to be let go because i wasn't showing results. Although i understand the decision, i was not advised of that in the interview nor onboarding. Lower management did not genuinely take the time to get to know my skill set or how to properly utilize it.

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.
