Harley-Davidson, Inc. reviews

Key leaders are now gone that lead product innovation and design. Since 2005 H-D has disregarded experience and knowledge of product and gone to cheap labor and outsourcing in the effort to bolster its stock (fooling most Wall Street groups). Recent departures of key engineering personnel either by choice or forced out is leaving the company powerless to lead the industry.

Top management has shown they will make all decisions right or wrong and want no input from employees. New management has shown it does not want to partner with employees. New management has started outsourcing many parts, they don't feel Harley made really means anything anymore. They have started down a road of hiring temps. or casuals as they call them and have laid off better qualified people. They are on a cycle of cutting costs at the expense of our brand name so they can increase profits to line their pockets. There are so many outside contractors working at Harley now, you would be hard pressed to know who is a regular employee and who isn't. All of these things are bringing down Harley Davidson and the employees and middle management know it but you can't say anything or you will lose your job. What built this company was both workers and management working together with one thing in mind, to make Harley Davidson the best Motorcycle out there. We were once an example of a great company. No More. My way or the highway Keith Wandell has changed Harley Davidson, to bad it went in the wrong direction.
