Pros

Meet some good people. Get to help homeowners. If there is damage to the roof or siding you can fix it for them. Keeping there house in good condition and safe.

Cons

It is walking door to door and asking homeowners if they can inspect their house. Work with other advocate reps and see that they actually make the damage to your gutters and roof. By tearing up your roof with a quarter or putting dents in the down spouts. Which is very unethical. Manager would always tell me to get a claim on a home even if there is no damage. So basically wanted me to say there was damage when there wasn’t. It all just seemed so wrong.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are grateful to hear that you appreciated the aspects of the role that allowed us to help people. When our company was founded that was the spirit we had in mind. Our goal is to be a professional organization that informs homeowners of the effects of storms and to help them navigate the complexities of insurance restoration. It sounds like you had the right spirit, but that was broken by this unconscionable behavior that you claim. Let me be clear. Fabricating damage is illegal, it is a crime punishable by law. We take such claims very seriously, as it is not the policy of our organization to fabricate damage for any reason. This review has caused us to initiate an investigation into the possibility of fabricating damage by a member of our team. We have controls in place to ensure that this doesn’t happen or that if it does, those responsible will face the consequences. I encourage you to report any employee(s) displaying such behavior to a member of management immediately. If you don't feel comfortable reaching out to a manager, you can reach out to our Safety and Loss Control Manager

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.
