Pros

Coworkers and hybrid work are only reason many haven’t left yet.

Cons

No salary adjustments in 3 years. They finally broke down and gave employees 2% this year. Employee compensation (base and bonus) significantly below market. Management does not care about employee compensation issues at all. Stay away at all cost or be stuck with same salary for at least 5 years or even making less after taking into account increased costs for benefits and actual inflation costs.

Pros

I am struggling to identify any pros that I experienced during my time of employment at Harley.

Cons

Toxic environment, many Harley employees treat "contract employees" terribly. Multiple individuals in leadership positions exhibit corrupt behavior and should be replaced. The company allows "whistle blowers" to be terminated for no cause after reporting inappropriate conduct of other leaders. They allow toxic and inappropriate behavior to thrive within the organization, rather than removing the actual problems. From calling out inappropriate personal relationships within the company, to verbally abusive and bullying behavior reported, to illegal substance usage on company property (beyond typical beers served at company run functions), the whistle blowers have repeatedly been removed in lieu of the problematic individuals. Advise to potential employees: keep your head down and your mouth shut if you witness questionable behavior if you want to maintain employment. Job security does not exist at this company. They will keep you on payroll until they need to "clean house" again and then they'll ax entire departments in 1 swoop because the company's bottom line is hurting so badly... but then hire back all of those same "eliminated" positions within a few months with individuals who have half the experience and demand half the compensation. This is just a taste of the company's dirty laundry, and I only stayed for 6 months. Imagine what else could be shared if I had stayed any longer...

Awful place to work.

Pros

Compensation & Benefits for Director level was good.

Cons

Silos throughout the company. 12 restructures in 9 years. Very hard to move the company forward with the entire team worried if they will have a job in November. By the time the team starts to gel, time to restructure.
