Pros

Good pay and Its Harley Davidson!

Cons

High expectations for getting to much work done. They care only about how many motors getting out the door. There saying is quality over quantity but more like quantity over quality. I have been a hd casual for 3 years now and still not fully hired on. They only hire people who kiss butt and not the ones who work there butts off. No opportunity to advance. Some managers are racist. They don't care about anyone's personal life.

Pros

Great name, great legacy, People are friendly or so it seems.

Cons

Very difficult to get anything done, lots of redundant jobs and people are in roles because they have intellectual capital that they refuse to share with anyone and management refuses to step up and challenge them. PMO is immature and PMO management is very unrealistic on expectations and provides little to no training/support, yet expect full delivery and capability of all projects within all portfolios.
