Missing The Mark

Pros

Good overall benefits offered. Work from home.

Cons

Leadership is unwilling to see employee burnout and middle-management issues. Leaders refusing to see the need for changes, consistently hiding behind phrases like, “We’ve always done it this way.” No HR department. Strong bias in leadership opinion over employees. Employees do not have a voice despite lip service stating otherwise.

First, thank you for your more than five years at Advocate Capital. We’re glad you enjoyed the benefits and work-from-home flexibility. We hear your frustration. While we strive to be a continuous improvement company that focuses on giving associates a voice through initiatives like our online suggestion box, annual committees, and team lunches with the CEO, we can tell we fell short with your experience. Even though it’s tough to read, your feedback is essential, and we’ve shared it with our leadership team and HR associates. Take care. – Advocate Capital

Pros

The senior leadership genuinely cares about each employee, and understands that if their employees are appreciated and enabled to do their job, the customers will be the beneficiaries as well! We all have the opportunity to learn about each division of the company and build relationships with our peers and managers. Not just beneficial business networking relationships, but "how is your family?... Is there anything we can do to help?...". I have real friendships in this organization that I would not trade for anything. We are a work from home organization. Excellent Benefits, competitive pay and generous PTO. In our sales division we pay commissions next business day! You read that right. Realistic goals are set and when you hit them, they are not annually readjusted above realistic outcomes. Each business division is appreciated and celebrated for their impact on the business. The company goes out of its way to host Zoom and in person meetings to bolster team building, and foster the friendships I mentioned earlier.

Cons

No one ever leaves, so you will have to wait for new positions to be created as we continue to grow. If you have never had the opportunity to work in corporate America prior to coming here, you won't understand just how amazing this place is. I have worked at Mom and Pop shops where I was treated like family and at international corporations where I was a cog in the machine. Advocate Capital truly brings the best of everything I have experience and hoped for from an employer over the past 23 yeas of my professional career with out all the nonsense that makes every other sales organization I have previously been associated with the kind of place I swore to never work at again. I guess the biggest con is that it took me so long to land here. :)
