Pros

I've supported different areas as a contractor for a while. Over time, I've come to know and appreciate Harley as an incredibly fascinating, powerful and beautiful brand with endless learning opportunities. Let's just say I've made the most of the opportunity in many ways.

Cons

As a contractor (and their workforce is increasingly contractors), I've always felt treated like a guest and an outsider who's expendable at any time. No matter how much passion, effort and hard work I put forth (which, in many ways is its own reward since it makes me really "sing for my supper"), I tend to go way above and beyond when I notice other permanent employees a little too comfortable at what seems to be any everyday grind.
