Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with us. I am really sorry that your experience at Advocate Construction did not match our intention of being the best place you have ever worked. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees, so we are disappointed to hear about your experience. However, we would like to clarify your comments regarding the draw. Our sales pay structure is vastly different from a traditional draw system that can feel like a hole. Under no circumstances does Advocate Construction collect unearned salary back from employees. Each of our sales employees is provided with a base salary, this base salary is guaranteed weekly pay, regardless of performance. Once a sales employee is bringing in more earnings than what we are paying them via their base salary, we pay them the additional earnings. Earnings surpassing one's base salary are uncapped, for this reason, we have many employees earning well into the six figures within their first two years. We believe that employees who work hard, put in the effort, and produce results, shouldn't be held back in their earnings with only a salary, this is why we offer both the stability of a base salary and the benefits of uncapped commissions. We also offer health, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401K with company match to all employees. If you would like to share more about your experiences please contact me by emailing hr@advocateconstruction.com so that we can set up a time to talk. Thank you again for the feedback.

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.

Great money if you hustle, you make 6% of profit when a homeowner picks out colors for shingles, and 6% of profit if your a field team member doing the inspection.

Cons

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.
