Pros

Best American made motor cycle manufacturing company. Or at least it used to be. Good vacation, average insurance, holidays, discounts on bikes and clothes and accessories, iconic brand, advanced manufacturing facilities, decent cafeteria, flexible schedule.

Cons

Long hours and lots of crisis management, poor relationships between union workers and salary workers (not all, but some) lower pay for salary workers, good old boy club still exists, favoritism in advancement, poor management decisions, bad managers left in charge, blame game put on lower level workers, saw innocent people get fired for made up reasons to protect managers.
