Pros
I've been associated with the retail division of Clayton Homes for over 20 years and they are currently the most innovative company in the business of manufactured housing. There is no other company in this business I would rather work for.
Cons
In retail the hours and multifaceted aspects of the job can be demanding. The number of hats a manager wears seems endless as we essentially operate shallowly staffed "mom and pop" locations. There is no college reimbursement available for retail employees yet there is for corporate office employees. Also corporate office employees get specific holidays off while retail employees in the field do not. It would be nice to see mutual respect for retail employees to get something similar even if it is not the same days off.
