Pros

Some of the Diageo Departments and Entities have great atmosphere, ability to work on your own initiative and spend a huge amount of money on celebrations. If you are in the right location you are getting very good Salary, 32 days of Annual Leave every year, free Alcohol Allowance, Bonuses, Study support and more. If you want you have plenty of opportunities to gain a lot of knowledge trough trainings.

Cons

It's hard to move up in your career, it's easier for Externals to jump into Senior Position than to be promoted from Lower Level Position. Also very political, if your Line Manager doesn't want or can't help you out to get a higher Level Role you won't get it. They let some very good and talented people go.

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.
