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

My hiring journey began with a seamless application process, followed immediately by an incredibly organized scheduling phase. The Harley team kept me informed every step of the way. I never had to guess where I stood, as next steps were always laid out clearly. During the interview experience the entire Harley team panel was professional, welcoming, and were genuinely interested in my background, making the interview feel like a collaborative conversation. The transparency throughout the process gave me complete confidence when I ultimately accepted the job offer.

Cons

I have no cons to call out based on my experience in the interview process.
