“If you have any questions or concerns, please advise.” I’ve heard this used by multiple people now. It doesn’t sound correct to me... Like how can you “advise” if you have questions??

I think it’s weird. I say “If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me in person or by the cell phone number listed in my signature”

You can advise the person giving instructions that you have a question. Very common expression

Weird to use please advise after that phrase

The communication consultant at my company’s national training advised us not to use business jargon like that. You’re right, though. It’s so commonly used, it doesn’t really mean anything anymore besides, “maybe we’ll talk again soon.” I don’t use it.

It’s fine to use that phrase.
