  9. "Co-op"

    StarStarStarStarStar
    Co-Op Student in Toronto, ON

    I worked at Diageo for less than a year

    Pros

    Had great support from the outgoing co-op student. I was left with process documents to follow for the major tasks I was assigned to do. The atmosphere at the organization was great as well, there was an on-site bar. Overall I had a great experience working here, especially for someone who was a young 20 year old.

    Cons

    Allow for harder tasks for co-ops later in the co-op term

    Advice to Management

    Allow co-ops to take on larger tasks later in co-op term
