Pros

Better than average pay for a factory. Decent vacation.

Cons

The company had decided to become a business instead of a family so, Wall street comes first. This reflects from corporate onto the employees who are no longer valued. Skills are no longer valued in their "anyone can do the job, just read the work instructions" setting. It's more about numbers than quality. The attitudes are extremely negative and the company refuses to believe there is a problem. Harley was once one of the best places to work, but the atmosphere since the new management took over makes it nearly unbearable to work in. No sick days. Noisy and no radios for anxious workers. Mandated overtime. Too much paperwork and too many nonproductive meeting. Mostly disengaged workforce. Very angry and stressful atmosphere.

Pros

My hiring journey began with a seamless application process, followed immediately by an incredibly organized scheduling phase. The Harley team kept me informed every step of the way. I never had to guess where I stood, as next steps were always laid out clearly. During the interview experience the entire Harley team panel was professional, welcoming, and were genuinely interested in my background, making the interview feel like a collaborative conversation. The transparency throughout the process gave me complete confidence when I ultimately accepted the job offer.

Cons

I have no cons to call out based on my experience in the interview process.
