Pros
- the Harley-Davidson culture is fun and exciting - clients (dealers) are, for the most part, pleasant to deal with - company has a good reputation - excellent brand image - employees are hard-working, easy to get along with - a sense of doing positive things and actually making a difference to your client's business
Cons
- the sales manager is completely incompetent, resulting in wasted talent in the sales and training departments - employees are incredibly undercompensated for their level of knowledge and dedication - there is a general lack of higher level education that permeates, from employee to management; practically every manager had to return to school to receive their college degrees after corporate mandated it - the senior management team is generally like the blind leading the blind - contractors are not treated well, and undervalued - not enough integration with the parent company, although this is a goal and there has been marked improvement recently
