"Before I started working at Advocate, I was a FedEx driver.
Since joining the team, I’ve become more independent and much more intentional with the decisions I make each day. I’m empowered to treat my book of business as if I’m running my own company, which has been both exciting and rewarding.
One of my favorite experiences so far was our first March Madness competition. My team and I had an incredible time. We celebrated each week as we consistently outperformed other markets. It was a great reminder of why Team MJ is one of the best in the company. From steak dinners to shopping sprees, the entire experience brought us closer together and helped us build strong rapport and team culture.
What sets Advocate apart, in my opinion, is how much fun we have while working toward our goals. The incentives and friendly competitions, whether within our own office or against other branches, bring energy and excitement to the workplace. They make achieving our goals something we really work hard at, and look forward to.
What I like the most about Advocate is the people. Everyone here is like-minded, supportive, and driven. Whether you've been here for a week or for two years, you’re treated like family. We push each other to grow and become the best versions of ourselves, together."
"Before joining Team Advocate, I spent 20 years as a golf professional, teaching and running tournaments, and most recently as a heavy equipment operator at Kohler.
When I first started with Advocate, I had zero knowledge of the roofing industry. What has been amazing is how much I have learned and how rewarding it feels to help people with problems that truly impact their lives. I’ll never forget a homeowner in West Allis who had Rubbermaid containers on his porch catching rainwater. I was able to get him a full roof replacement, and seeing the difference that made for him was unforgettable.
One of my favorite experiences has been qualifying for a trip to Telluride, Colorado. I got to bring my sister, who lives out of state, and it gave us the chance to reconnect in such a beautiful place. Even better, my entire team qualified, so we all got to share the incredible experience.
What makes our workplace culture stand out is the supportive, inspirational people. My sister was blown away by how genuine and supportive everyone was, and it confirmed what I already knew: the culture at Advocate is something special.
What I love most about being part of Team Advocate is the opportunity to serve. I have always been service-driven, and this role enables me to make a tangible difference in people's lives every day."
"Before joining Advocate, I worked as an office manager for a tire corporation.
My role at Advocate means a lot to me because I truly feel appreciated for the work I do.
My favorite experience here has been the opportunity to work with family while also building many great friendships.
What makes the workplace culture unique is the genuine appreciation for everyone’s contributions — we all feel equal and valued.
What I love most about Advocate is that my ideas are taken seriously and I get to work alongside such supportive and inspiring people."
"Prior to joining Team Advocate, I managed a family-owned Mexican Restaurant, Espinos Mexican Bar & Grill, for five years.
To me, working at Advocate means being part of a supportive team that values collaboration and growth. Over my time here, I’ve had the opportunity to step into a management role, develop my leadership skills within a growing corporate structure, and play a key part in building out a new department. I’ve been able to build strong relationships, contribute to meaningful projects, and be part of a company that truly cares about both its employees and its homeowners.
My journey at Advocate has been full of incredible experiences and growth. From unforgettable employee trips to LA, Arizona, and Mexico to celebrating our ten-year anniversary at Talia Hall with the entire company — complete with a special X Ambassadors performance — I’ve made memories I’ll never forget. I started as the STL Office Manager, and being part of that fun, driven team while watching them grow into the company’s leading sales market has been so rewarding. One of my proudest accomplishments has been working alongside a strong group of female leaders to build a department from the ground up. Creating my own team, sharing my knowledge, and teaching them what makes Advocate great has truly been one of the highlights of my career here.
At Advocate, we live by a work hard, play hard mindset. Our results-driven culture is built on shared mission, vision, and values — and we make it a priority to celebrate wins together, support each other, and grow as a team. It’s a family-like environment where you’re encouraged and empowered to develop your skills while having fun along the way — and truly, it’s the people here and being part of the company’s incredible growth over the past four years that have kept me at Advocate.
What I love most about Advocate is the people and the environment. I’ve loved being part of the STL office and experiencing the energy and camaraderie of that team, while also having the opportunity to create my own team and build something of my own. Being part of a company that is constantly growing, celebrating successes, appreciating employees, and giving back to the community makes it an incredible place to work. The support, energy, and dedication of the people here are what make me proud to be part of Advocate every day."
"I wanted to share how much my life has changed since joining Advocate in December 2020. I previously worked 9 to 5 every day in a factory, so coming here not only improved my financial situation but also provided a work-life balance that I truly value.
One of my favorite experiences so far was the referral trip to Los Angeles. It was an amazing opportunity to visit a place I never thought I'd be able to see, and I'm grateful that working for Advocate made it possible.
The culture in Detroit is also fantastic; we're a tight-knit group. I particularly enjoy helping new sales representatives achieve their personal and professional goals. Advocate is truly the best job I've ever had!"
"Before I started working at Advocate Construction, I had a typical office role where I just felt more like a statistic on a spreadsheet than an actual person performing a job. It wasn't until after I joined Advocate that I experienced what it was like to actually work for a company that values its employees. Not only the VPs, but the owners as well make it their mission to get to know you personally and make it clear that they are very invested in helping your personal and professional growth. I'm reminded constantly that I made the right choice in picking where I started my career."
"Before joining Advocate, I spent about 13 years managing various restaurants and another 3 years selling property and casualty insurance. While both careers taught me a lot about people and service, I never experienced the kind of fulfillment I do now.
At Advocate, there’s a unique satisfaction that comes with helping homeowners complete major projects, often ones they've been planning or saving for for decades, at little or no out-of-pocket cost beyond their deductible. Knowing we’re helping them preserve their savings or get to redirect those funds to other needs is incredibly rewarding. That feeling never gets old.
What truly sets Advocate apart, though, is the culture. The Milwaukee office is very tight-knit, and feels more like a brotherhood than a workplace. Some of us have grown and moved up through the ranks together over the years, while others are just beginning their journey. Regardless of where someone is on that path, there's a shared respect and camaraderie that makes coming to work something to look forward to.
What I love most about Advocate is that everyone has gone through it. By “it”, I mean that every single manager or leader here has walked the same path. They’ve knocked the doors, they’ve closed the deals, and they’ve faced the same challenges as the newest rep. That firsthand experience creates a powerful sense of empathy and trust. When someone says, 'I’ve been in your shoes,' they really mean it, and that makes all the difference."
“Before joining Advocate, I was working as a bartender, which I think really sharpened my people skills and prepared me more than I realized for this role. I started here as a sales rep, and through hard work and consistent results, I was promoted to Field Supervisor — something that meant a lot to me because it showed that my efforts were truly recognized.
One of the biggest highlights of working at Advocate has been the travel. I left the country for the first time on a sales incentive trip to the Cayman Islands, and just a month later, I was able to travel to Europe — thanks to our results-only environment and unlimited PTO. Some of my favorite memories include those unforgettable trips to places like Costa Rica and the Colorado mountains.
Even though I’m not required to come into the office, I still choose to because I genuinely enjoy being around my coworkers. What I love most about this job is the freedom — I’m not stuck behind a desk, clocking in and out. I get to be out in the field, making real money, with the flexibility to live life on my own terms.”
“Advocate Construction has one of, if not the best, company cultures I've ever seen. They truly do care about the personal and professional development of their employees and invest a lot of resources to accomplish that. In addition to training, they are also big on their rewards! I was an Incentive Trip Qualifier my first year, and Advocate took us to the Westin Resort in Costa Rica for a week-long, all expenses paid trip with a plus-one. It was a magical and unforgettable experience, and I'm very thankful for Advocate's generosity and recognition of those who bring a lot to the company. Jeff Quilling, Sales Director of the Milwaukee branch, is one of the best guys you'll ever talk to, and he, along with my Sales Manager Jason Loomis, have supported me both personally and professionally through thick and thin, and I truly would not be the man I am today without them. The culture, benefits, professional support, and monetary compensation at Advocate are top-notch, and I would absolutely recommend anyone to work here in any role. Everyone here is of quality character, gets along well, and it feels more like a tight-knit community than a place of employment. If you're thinking about working with or for Advocate Construction, look no further!”
"Prior to joining Team Advocate, I was a student at Illinois State University, earning my bachelor's degree in Business Administration.
My role here at Advocate means that I have the ability to drive the results in our process and make sure that I am mentoring the employees below me to have the skills to someday take my place.
My favorite experiences here at Advocate are some of the longer nights we've spent at the office as Field Supervisors, bonding about our experiences in the field.
The workplace culture here is different because although we all have different roles at Advocate, we all ultimately get excited and celebrate the same results, which creates camaraderie.
I love all the support that Advocate has to offer. Advocate is understanding of the lives that we live outside of work, and that work is not the only thing that matters."
“Before Advocate, I worked long days for the giants of retail. It was grueling, thankless, and employees were not treated well. I dreaded going in. At one point, I was working three jobs just to pay bills.
Advocate changed that for me. Suddenly, I had a job I cared about- with a company that cared about me. I don’t have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet, and I get to enjoy what I do!
My favorite experiences here are the office outings. I’m a big introvert, and prior to Advocate, I spent most of my time at home when I wasn’t working. Advocate gave me opportunities to get out and create great memories with some really amazing people. The outings allowed me to socialize and forge new bonds, and step outside my comfort zone!
The culture here is unlike any other I’ve experienced in a workplace. It’s like its own weird family, and from day one, I felt included. We work hard, but we play hard too, and everyone really looks out for each other.
What I really love most about my time here at Advocate is the people. At most jobs, the people you work with are just co-workers. Here, I feel like I’ve really met some lifelong friends. My time as the office coordinator will always be special to me, because I got to see my favorite people every day.”
“Prior to joining Advocate, I was a marketing specialist at a law firm.
My role at Advocate means a lot to me, both personally and professionally. I work closely with a lot of our team members and enjoy the satisfaction of helping others see results and achieve their goals. On a personal note, my role with Advocate provided me the financial ability to support my wife while she finished school, while also welcoming our first child.
My favorite memories at Advocate don’t come from big sales outings or trips, although going on the sales incentive trip was an incredible experience. The best memories I have are a product of the everyday interactions I’ve had on the job. I’ve met a ton of amazing people over the years, and I’ve found that there’s nothing better than the joy and appreciation you feel from a customer when you’re able to help them in a time of need.
What I love most about Advocate is my coworkers and the culture. I’ve made lifelong friends during my time here, many of whom were also instrumental in my success as a new team member. The genuine support, care, and camaraderie from the team are felt every day, and it’s part of what makes working here so enjoyable.”
“Before joining Team Advocate, I did sales for a packaging company.
My role at Advocate has allowed me to level up and develop professionally and personally. I have helped countless homeowners get their homes back to pre-storm condition, and a lot of them did not even know they needed my help before we met.
My favorite experience working for Advocate so far was the incentive trip this year. It was a great chance to celebrate excellence with all of the other top performers in the company!
The work hard play hard culture makes Advocate different. This company encourages you to be the best that you can be at work and outside of it!
I love that Advocate is a place for everyone. I believe this company has been the direct platform for countless people to level up in their careers and realize their true value in the world!”
"Before joining Advocate Construction, I was fresh out of college with a bachelor’s degree and no clear direction for my career. I was working as a delivery driver for Amazon when I heard about AC through a referral, and it changed absolutely everything.
As a QCS, I get to focus on both internal and external customer service. I love that I’m in a role where I get to build relationships and genuinely help people every single day.
One of the best parts about working here is the experiences. We’ve gone on so many unforgettable trips! One of the most memorable was a production trip to Miami during Super Bowl weekend. Opportunities like that don’t come around often, and I’m incredibly grateful.
What really sets Advocate apart is the people. Everyone here shares the same drive for excellence, no matter what department they’re in. We’re all aligned in our goals, and that unity creates something truly special. I also appreciate that hard work never goes unnoticed. The culture here is truly work hard, play hard. We celebrate wins, build genuine friendships company-wide, and create lasting memories that most people will never get in a typical job.
Even as the company grows, it still feels personal. We’re big enough to make a huge impact, but still small enough that our CEO, VPs, and Directors all regularly participate in even departmental meetings. Leadership is visible, engaged, and hands-on, which speaks volumes about the culture we've built here."
"I have been in the training world for almost 20 years now. Prior to joining Team Advocate, I led the training function for an accounting and advisory firm.
What makes Advocate different is that my voice actually matters here, which is rare in a world full of Zoom calls where you’re just another muted square. I really get to help shape the learning and development universe here at Advocate.
One of the best parts about working at Advocate is that my coworkers are also my friends. Brainstorming sessions feel less like meetings and more like group chats with a purpose. We bounce ideas around like a ping-pong tournament and somehow turn them into something amazing. We work hard, we play hard, and we laugh a lot in between. (Sometimes at each other, but always with love.)"
“My role at Advocate Construction means a lot. It’s the first time a workplace has actually rewarded me for my hard work, and now I’m a Field Supervisor. Advocate Construction allowed me to grow professionally, which led to personal growth as well! I was able to purchase my first house while working at Advocate!”
"Before joining Team Advocate, I worked long hours in bars and restaurants while pursuing my bachelor’s degree at the University of Michigan. Balancing 60+ hour workweeks with 3 to 5 college courses at a time became my norm. It was demanding, and while I was proud of my work ethic, I knew I wanted something more sustainable and fulfilling.
Joining Advocate marked a major turning point in my life, both professionally and personally. I’ve been able to accomplish things that simply weren’t possible in my previous industry. More than just a career move, this opportunity has allowed me to grow in ways that have had a lasting, positive impact on my life and my family.
There have been many memorable experiences throughout my time at Advocate, but one moment really stands out. During my first full season, I caught up with a former restaurant coworker who casually mentioned his upcoming shift. That word, “shift,” used to be part of my daily vocabulary for nearly 20 years. It’s a harmless term, but in that moment, it reminded me how much my perspective on work had changed. After less than a year at Advocate, the idea of work as ‘just a shift’ had all but disappeared from my mindset.
What I love most about Advocate is the opportunity it provides to evolve and continue growing professionally and personally. It’s more than a job, it’s a path to becoming the best version of myself."
"I worked as a union industrial painter before kicking off my career at Advocate. While that job provided a solid foundation, I was looking for more growth opportunities. That’s what ultimately led me to make the leap to Advocate, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
My role at Advocate has changed my life completely. I get to enjoy what I do every day. I get to work with some amazing people. I get to spend quality time with my family. All of this translates into a happier and healthier life that I never thought was possible. For that, I will always be thankful.
The culture here is one I’ve always described as “work hard, play hard,” which fits me perfectly. If you know me, you know I thrive in both of those areas. So many fun and exciting things can happen, but it still takes hard work to get there. You really have to earn everything, and I love that about Advocate.
When they say “family,” they mean it. Everyone is always there lending a helping hand. Everyone wants to see everyone else succeed, and they realize they can’t succeed without each other, and that’s truly a special thing to be a part of."
"Before joining Advocate Construction, I worked at an asphalt plant that supplies raw materials to shingle companies. The demanding DuPont schedule was not sustainable for the family lifestyle I wanted. Since becoming a Field Supervisor at Advocate, I’ve finally found the work-life balance I was missing, while also experiencing tremendous personal and professional growth.
One of my most memorable experiences here was the referral trip to Puerto Rico. It’s incredible to be able to help people in my life land a job at a company I believe in, and then see both of us rewarded with something as amazing as a trip. That kind of recognition shows just how much Advocate values its people and the relationships they bring.
This referral culture has helped create something truly special: a workplace that feels more like a family. When so many of your teammates were referred by someone who genuinely cares about them, it builds a unique bond across the company.
What I love most about working at Advocate is how it’s impacted my personal journey. Every year, I look back and can see how far I’ve come—how much I’ve grown, both professionally and as a person. In the past, it never seemed like I could find the next breakthrough with my career or personal life. Since joining Team Advocate, those barriers are gone, I am light years ahead, and the path forward feels limitless."
