Pros

Company benefits are attractive. Pay structure options good in wider Diageo. But you won't get progression here.

Cons

I have to say, JWPS is one of the most toxic places that I have ever worked. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work here. It in no way embodies Diageo values. A microcosm of pettiness, vindictiveness, oneupmanship, power thirsty management and vindictive recrimination through 'catch-ups' and pointless goal setting that serves as nothing other than to keep you in your low, low position. Avoid at all costs!!!

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.
