Pros

Good company benefits and perks. Staff shop, pension.

Cons

You can be the very best at what you do, but there is no immediate recognition of talent. Career plan is not well laid and as a result one can feel disheartened. High staff turnover means that much of the great potential within the company is lost. There are wider opportunities within the business but it is difficult to get there.

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.
