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

Senior leadership at Advocate Capital truly care about every employee's experience with the company. I have witnessed them go to great lengths to implement employee feedback, are constantly improving the employee experience and genuinely wants to be the best place our employees have ever worked. Leadership CARES - and that caring is what guides the culture. Further, the entire Firm is mission focused on delivering seamless and exemplary service to all valued clients - all departments - accounting, finance, underwriting, marketing, client management and sales - all are focused on one mission - to help our clients get even better results for our clients. There are no perfect companies - however, Advocate Capital is about as close to perfect any company could hope to get.

Cons

The company is smaller in size, so naturally career advancement will require patience. That said, the Firm will always look within to fill vacancies before looking to the outside.

Pros

Not many. Holidays paid. Not much more

Cons

Oppressive culture, CEO refused to listen to ideas, comes from a credit background with no vision for growth. Limited opportunities for advancement. Felt like I was boxed in.
