Pros

Good benefits, good salary, good products

Cons

Upper management was very stuck in their ways. Refused to look outside of the box and try something new. In addition, this company is very much a old boys network. Woman are not welcome, and upper management made sure I was aware of that. HR didn't care that my VP had been reported more than three times due to his mind set towards women, they continued to allow this person work in a roll he had no business working in. Not only was he sexist, but he didn't know what he was doing and his team turned over 2 times in one year. People don't quit companies, they quit leaders. Clearly the case with Diageo.

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.
