Pros
Harley-Davidson is an amazing brand with a global community of people who love you just because of who you work for. Our brand position and products are exceptional. You aren't just working for a company, you are working for a cause. You can always be proud of saying "I work for Harley-Davidson" even if you aren't proud of the way you feel about working for Harley-Davidson. That is a backhanded compliment, but there is a sense of pride in working for an American Icon that means so much to people all over the world. You'll be surrounded by people who care about the brand and what it means to deliver an exceptional product and experience to customers who are committed to the brand. Insert note, it's more about the brand than the company.

Since a company doesn't really exist without people, it's really a disconnect between managers/leaders and the workforce. Pay is fair, though HR and hiring managers lean on the strength of the brand to compensate for pay and benefits that will hit the low end of the spectrum. While we talk about being a flexible workplace it rarely translates. It is a 110 year old company rooted in 110 year old management practices. Decisions are often slow, painfully slow, and generally based more on relationships than what is best. Career opportunities are thin and very dependent on
