Outdated company in a modern corporate world

Sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked with a great GM who made my years with the company tolerable. So if you are a under performer who does want to be held accountable for your lack of production, this is definitely the company for you.

Cons

This is male dominated company that continues to struggle with technology, leadership and product delivery. The people in top management are not leaders, no one I knew in the field would follow them out the door let alone into a company vision. There is such a disconnect from Kevin Claytons humble values to what is practiced outside of his office, there are no leaders. This company rewards bad behavior and maintains no accountability from the top down which reflects a 1950 mentality.

Clayton/Freedom/Oakwood Homes are all the same company

New home consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mediocre benefits, good work/ life balance. Feel like you make an impact on people's lives. Learn a lot about the home building process

Cons

VERY CORPORATE!!! Angry and upset customers. Not always a good product line and once people find out that clayton homes is also freedom homes and oakwood homes they feel like they can't trust you and your not allowed to tell people that it is all the same company, just different names

Service Desk Technician I - Great Place to Begin Tech Career

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Completely remote. Easy communication with manager and team. Mangers are very transparent. Training is great and there is third party applications used for learning on your own time. You can also take time during the work week to train and learn. Quarterly team outings. Restaurants, bowling, drinks, gun range, etc. All Clayton Employees get quarterly bonuses based off pay and company earnings. (Up to 17%.) OfficeVibe - anonymous survey application for feedback from team members. These answer can be read by anyone from your manager to the CEO. Management can also send out custom surveys. 8 Hours of VTO - Volunteered time off. Clayton will pay for you to volunteer your time to any cause you would like to help in.

Cons

The pay is mid range for the area of the corporate office in East TN. Median wage is roughly $20 for tech support in TN. Clayton is a national company, and I think they should pay national average. Costs in TN are rising to where I'm losing money in hourly wages. Clayton is bad about pay equity. People who have been with the company for 5+ years can be making $5 under new hire pay. I know this from first hand experience. Asking around the company further proved this. 20 days PTO hiring in. All things considered, this isn't the worst, but I would argue that if a company is going to be progressive with work life balance, then the PTO should reflect that. Maternal and Paternal leave is about as average as other companies like this.
