Pros

Great company culture and fantastic people working there. Very results driven, and focused on capability development. Great brands.

Cons

The company seems to be losing its way a little, and brand health seems to be dropping somewhat. They are continually looking for cost efficiencies (which is great), but I think they are now getting too lean on manpower to do the jobs expected of staff.

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.
