Pros

The culture is fantastic. Everybody is so happy to work at Harley and it shows. Most everyone has a positive attitude and genuinely cares about the company.

Cons

The organization wasn't the best. There were a lot of things that could be done better, but the chain of people to get this done was too large. Execution of many good ideas never took place.

Pros

- Pay for older Employees is above average. - Benefits are in par with similar size companies. - Working conditions are good. - Middle management is not overbearing. -

Cons

- Senior management has no respect for its skilled labor force. - New hires have to do same work as current employees for less pay. - Union has been "Busted", so workers have to live with whatever company offers. (Or they'll Move!) - You must fill out surveys until you are "Happy" with the way the company is run. (Or they'll Move!) - Worker moral has been systematically destroyed by the new big business approach. -
