Pros

none really, not bad benefits but bad pay for admin

Cons

lots of negatives, bullying culture aloud to breed, management no skills to address the issues within teams and allow it to breed by turning blind eye. Valuing each other (1 of Diageo's values) does not exist, people continually putting others down. If your face fits you are fine, but if you don't then you've had it, suck up to management and you can then easily manipulate them and get away with things that no one else gets away with. too many issues to list.

Pros

Pay & Benefits are wonderful

Cons

Unrealistic expectations towards employees Insurance benefits *Managers* are composed of front-line production leads and those who may oversee or supervise.* The work-life balance is severely lacking, and there are biased managers who add negative connotations to peers' actions without any solid evidence or knowledge. Furthermore, these managers often lack technical expertise regarding machinery and engage in excessive micromanagement of employees. The workplace lacks diversity as defined, and the hiring representatives are typically the same floor leads that micromanage peers creating unfair hiring process at Diageo. Many individuals who have encountered the corrupt practices lead reps in previous jobs are frequently denied opportunities.
