      Pros

      -Competitive pay -Good experience to add that you worked in a global company -Great Brand Ambassador Program. Great perks. -Room to grow and excel if given the right leadership

      Cons

      -No work life balance. -Boy's club in all upper management -Leaders are clearly unqualified and very unprofessional to their direct reports. Oftentimes you see leaders use their direct reports to jump up to the next level. Employees then don't receive any growth or recognition. -Managers are quick to anger and quick to blame. -Leaders and Managers are quick to move on to the next level. Do not focus on helping their employees grow. -Actions given to employees are nebulous; they're expected to take a vague goal and fill in all the blanks. Leaders do not give their time to help unless it directly affects their KPIs.

      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.
