Pros

Culture - You get to experience a brand like no other. The customers and employees are fanatics. Get to go to rallies and see the excitement first-hand. Riding and seeing riders on the road is very rewarding. Cool Products - This goes without saying. Quality, cosmetics and overall product appeal is unlike any other company. Your friends and family will be impressed that you work there. Compensation and Benefits - The pay is about 10% better than other companies in the area. Benefits are good. However, raises are small. CEO - Very smart and personable younger guy, knows how to command a room.

Cons

Work/Life balance - You are expected to work a minimum of 10 hours a day. I've put in plenty 70 hour work weeks with no comp days or overtime given in return. This place can easily ruin your personal life. If you work on the floor, bye bye personal life. Career opportunities - Very little movement is possible unless you have a masters degree and are in the managers "club". Positive business outlook - Young people are not going to buy motorcycles like they used to. Even if livewire is released, there is no way this business is sustainable. Hearing about friends and family dying will not make you want to buy one. Senior Management - There are way too many managers that do absolutely nothing. 50% of them could be let go and it would affect nothing.

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.
