Pros

Great people and product. Fun to work customer events. Good benefits and great discount on motorcycles and accessories.

Cons

Most of the time work comes first. Focused on financial performance. Not as family friendly as before current CEO. Not good at new product development outside of current product line. Youth is valued over experience. Decisions are made by consensus all the time. Even at the detriment to the product.

Pros

fair pay paid parking still sorta cool to say you work at "Harley-Davidson" to those unknowing!!!

Cons

1.) brought in supervisors recently - which have no clue in manufacturing! 2.) keep cutting benefits/perks and taking away from work environment - establish crazy cuts that effect ONLY the worker bees... everything increase except for treatment of workers - even cafeteria food... 3.)no respect, no appreciation, only promises and "get back with you's..." that never occur. 4.) announce lay off and create 6 vice president positions immediately after 5.) during talk of budget and struggles - load with middle management that was never needed before 6.) enforce hostile work environments with no corrective action 7.) work OT to prepare for lay off - continuously 8.) even though plaque hangs on wall noting "truth" being first value of company - you will never hear such a word inside the doors! Mostly from salary. 9.) ever worked for the federal government - you'll do fine! hypocritical as hell and ever changing 10.) would only wish this on my ex-spouse! And then... might feel a little bad. 11.) discrimination alive and well!!! 12.) same day as surveys/sermons - guilty of what preached. typical to say one thing and do other - daily! AND FOR THOSE THINKING OF HIRING ON - ALL CASUALS NOW... DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB. They recycle through casuals/temps to hire like candy. promise will be hired within 60 days... some waiting for year/s. then because can't keep w/o insurance will terminate on a dime to save $$$ no matter what your work ethics are. FOR THOSE OF YOU SLACKERS... it's a great place to work - you'll retire! FMLA king/queen - our doors are open!!!

Pros

They still have a good base pay and their benefits are OK. They still have a product that many people want. They still seem to want to keep the product as American made as possible.

Cons

In the 15+ years I have worked there I have taken $1.50 cut in benefits for very $1 raise in base pay. The benefits used to be great, but now, at best are OK, but declining. Senior management went from caring about employees to caring about themselves and the stock market. Morale is absolutely horrible from the lowest hourly to the middle management and salaried. Concern of quality of product is stll OK, but is lower than in the past. The place is just plain mismanaged in every aspect.
