Meet This Week's Advocate for Advocate

---

"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." 

"Before Advocate, I spent 9 years as a medical assistant in a doctor’s office. I enjoyed my work, but I was ready for more. 

Joining Team Advocate has been life-changing. It’s given me the stability to support my kids and the peace of mind that comes with financial security. More than that, it’s helped me turn a job into a long-term career. Being in a remote role means that I don’t have to choose between my work and my family, and I get to be present for my kids while continuously growing professionally. That balance means everything to me. 

My favorite memories at Advocate thus far have been the opportunities to travel and meet company-wide teammates from all over the US face-to-face. Getting to put names to faces, hear everyone’s stories, and feel the energy of our team in person reminds me that we’re more than coworkers; we’re a close-knit, passionate, hard-working community. 

The workplace culture at Advocate is like something I have never experienced before. We sincerely support each other, wholeheartedly celebrate each other, and collaborate so well to push through challenges together. There’s a sense of togetherness that you don’t find often, and it makes all the difference. 

What I love most is how much Advocate invests in us. They don’t just bring people in, they are committed to building them up. There’s a real focus on inspiring team members to grow, chase their dreams, and thrive, and that kind of support is invaluable."

"Before joining Team Advocate, I was blasting and painting rail cars and woodchipping trucks. After a while, it just got... kind of routine. I wanted something more! More challenge, more growth, more me. I come from a long line of incredible, dedicated factory workers, and seeing firsthand the toll it can take made me determined to forge a different path.

My role at Advocate means everything to me. I get to help customers, support sales reps, and make a meaningful impact. I love being in a position where I can help people find their groove and succeed. There’s nothing better than watching someone crush it, knowing you played a part in that. That fires me up and drives me every day.

One of my favorite things is Advocate’s annual sales training. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been here, it’s always such a great reset. Plus, meeting people from across our 12 markets makes you feel like part of something bigger.

The workplace culture here is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s incredibly competitive in the best way possible. Everyone pushes themselves to be their best while lifting each other up. We’re constantly striving for excellence, and that energy is contagious.

What I love most about Advocate is that we’re all working hard to constantly level up, and you end up learning so much about yourself along the way. The best part? You don’t need a fancy background to be successful. If you’re willing to learn and are ready to hustle, you can make your dreams a reality here." 

"Before joining Advocate, I was a Service Technician in the garage door industry. While I enjoyed my work, I was ready to find a workplace that could offer future growth and opportunity.

Being a part of Advocate has helped me achieve many dreams. This career has opened doors that I did not foresee before being on the team.

In my role, I love to think about the amazing value that we deliver, not only to our customers, but also to the rest of Advocate. As a Manager, being able to support my team members and watch them grow as they achieve their goals is extremely rewarding.

Some of my most memorable times with Advocate are the training and incentive trips that I have been able to experience with my team.

The workplace culture at Advocate is something I am truly happy to be a part of. At Advocate, we are a team that is dedicated to supporting one another and striving for success.

Advocate has helped me break personal goals and set new ones many times, and I could not be more thankful for the places it has taken me. I am excited to see what the future holds for me at Advocate." 

"Before joining Advocate Construction, I worked for a company focused on helping financial institutions implement technology that enhances both accuracy and customer experience. My primary responsibilities included maintenance and sales for bank cash dispensers.

My role at Advocate is hard to put into words. I have the opportunity to contribute to something essential that our communities need, enabling me to positively impact people's lives directly. Advocate has opened doors I never thought possible. I'm not only in a better financial position to support my five children and my wife, who is a stay-at-home mother, but I also have the freedom to lead and inspire others to transform their lives.

One of the best aspects of working at Advocate is the ability to enjoy my work every day. I love that I can introduce new ideas to my colleagues, improving efficiency and making our work more enjoyable. And let's not forget, we enjoy some incredible perks! Our trips to Costa Rica and the Cayman Islands were unforgettable.

What distinguishes Advocate's culture is its people and vision. The opportunity to travel to places that my spouse and I never dreamed possible is extraordinary. I value the chance to explore and collaborate on new ideas for engaging and enjoyable activities for everyone.

What I appreciate most about Advocate is the work environment and the people I work with. I also love that I can earn a six-figure income doing what I'm passionate about!"
