Pros

Flexible working, generally very bright and pleasant colleagues, good people policies and procedures

Cons

Skittish management. The productivity agenda is mercinary, with consultants who aren't always very good. One re-org is just about recovered from and a new one is announced. It's like the forth bridge. Quite a big disparity in people managers. If you get a good one it's amazing. If you get a poor one they often hide it well.

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.
