Pros

Clayton Homes has an excellent benefit plan that covers medical, dental and vision. As well as retirement with employer match.

Cons

Due to the nature of manufactured housing, sometimes one finds oneself working 12+ hours a day, 6 days a week.

Just the good ole boys

Pros

Great people here who are very spirited and into the company's mission. Great campus with excellent cafeteria and a new gym that is very convenient and well-serviced. They do a great job of fostering teamwork at Clayton and of keeping people engaged in the company.

Cons

Too many less than intelligent people in key management positions. Too many good ole boys who lack the intelligence, experience and training to be where they are. Why are they there? Good ole boys take care of other good ole boys. Vanderbilt is especially bad. That group is a joke honestly. The leaders in that organization are buddies with the CEO and are incredibly under-qualified for their jobs. Most of this is the fault of the elder Clayton (not Kevin) who likes to hire buddies and then let them run important roles for which they lack the qualifications. Bottomline: this company has a culture issue and it's a culture of hiring and promoting white men who are mostly under-qualified for their positions.
