Pros
Legendary motorcycles, dedicated employees, terrific and strong brand. A reverse cult. Customer base is terrific and you get the opportunity to engage directly with the end customers. Dealers are very committed business people that run retailers that provide motorcycles, service, parts and accessories, and clothing to their customers - and they are very passionate about this.
Cons
The company has a unique culture that needs to evolve, and soon!. Leadership is not world class and their behavior has reputation among staffers as immature, unprofessional, lacking values and ethics. A sad commentary on this great company. It takes a long time for company to introduce advancements probably due to elongated decision making process, dependence on those who talk loudest, little innovation, and silos. Poor performers and leaders seem to be rewarded. If you are under 40, and a high performer, your career may be prioritized (for now). Primarily a male dominated environment, with cultural bias in opportunities and pay — diversity and inclusion not prioritized. Opportunities for advancement lacking - the same executives seem to be rotated around the company for the best opportunities and these are the ones best connected to the executive leadership team, but not necessarily the most talented employees or the best leaders. Seems to have a preoccupation on overassessing their workforce through a series of talent management processes, testing, people days etc. - employees are highly and inappropriately "diagnosed" for professional capabilities by unqualified and ineffective leadership teams and this can have a long-lasting impact on the careers of their hard working and dedicated employees as their are few impactful employee development plans in progress where employees feel that they are being groomed for success.
