Pros

Career opportunities, great training, and lots of fun team-building activities meant a really good environment - felt like part of a high-functioning team.

Cons

I only left because I felt bad working within the alcohol industry - a very personal decision and no reflection on the company itself. There were lots of events where alcohol was available and consumption encouraged - almost too much for me which again is personal and others might love.

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.
