Pros

- good work will be rewarded eventually being promoted - cross-functional moves at same possible are possible - international career opportunities - great brands - good atmosphere and frequent events linked to the nature of the brands we are selling - nice (head)office - very flexible working hours and working location (good work life balance)

Cons

- not very well paid (I guess because of all the cons) - reorganization every 2-3 years (as is most multinationals) causing a period of disturbance - expensive meals in company restaurant - don't always walk the talk

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.
