      Harley-Davidson has passionate employees, great products (motorcycles, accessories and clothing) and a great brand. A healthy global dealer network. The company is financially healthy.

      Harley-Davidson had and keeps having a lots of significant org changes. A factory will be closed next year. The market is very challenging in the US. Lots of talk about values but in some cases only seems to apply to people below VP level.

      I worked at Harley-Davidson, Inc. full-time

      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.

      Advice to Management

      Get rid of the good old boys, be open to new managers and employees and their creativity, drop the bad boy attitude, require that ALL managers be trained and degreed in management. Especially supervisors.
