Pros

It sounds cool to say you worked for Harley and the gift shop always has cool shirts.

Cons

- Working at HD is like a social experiment, you get to see the worst traits in people brought out due to stress - Everyone is overworked and positions are always being eliminated, putting more strain and work on the existing employees - There are very helpful employees, but a majority of the attitude is "thats not in my job scope so I'm going to refer you to someone else" because no one has the time or energy to go above and beyond for their coworkers. - Very few female engineers, lots of male egos to contend with - The York plant (where the bikes are actually manufactured) gets wellness fairs and free lunch once a quarter, while Milwaukee plant gets the fun festivals and community events.

Pros

- Flexibility with schedule allowing for a good work/life balance - Great people to work with - Brand recognition

Cons

-Leadership is in a constant state change which also provides instability of the strategy. - New CEO brings "new" products and promises but if you look back over the past few 5 year strategic plans, very little changes. - Financially struggling to make a profit - Employees are not rewarded based on performance. IF there is a financial increase to base pay everyone gets the same amount. There are no merit increases. And they haven't paid out a bonus in a couple of years.
