It was a 6 month co-op, and I feel I was very exposed to company politics.

Pros

There is great brand culture. The company has a lot of love for their products and a huge drive to keep their customers satisfied.

Cons

There is a very strong political structure, and during my time there the company was going through a huge restructuring process. It was difficult on many employees, as a lot were worried about job security.

Business Outlook

Pros

- the Harley-Davidson culture is fun and exciting - clients (dealers) are, for the most part, pleasant to deal with - company has a good reputation - excellent brand image - employees are hard-working, easy to get along with - a sense of doing positive things and actually making a difference to your client's business

Cons

- the sales manager is completely incompetent, resulting in wasted talent in the sales and training departments - employees are incredibly undercompensated for their level of knowledge and dedication - there is a general lack of higher level education that permeates, from employee to management; practically every manager had to return to school to receive their college degrees after corporate mandated it - the senior management team is generally like the blind leading the blind - contractors are not treated well, and undervalued - not enough integration with the parent company, although this is a goal and there has been marked improvement recently
