Pros

Possibility to work from home at times, nice range of products (for those who appreciate alcohol), relatively good compensation packages

Cons

4 reorgs in the last 6 years... Bad management of the whole procedure...firing people but asking them to stay longer because they have not thought about "the day after"...Lots of talk but no walk....All about politics...Career development is quasi impossible despite all the fancy name projects that are meant to "develop the internal talent"

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.
