Pros

Great pay and benefits for a graduate scheme, Good company to work for and working for reputable brands. People are nice.

Cons

10 hour long days with no achievable goals given, even when I asked for work I was still left with nothing to do. Role description doesn't match what I'm doing day to day. People are nice but very low energy, negative and difficult to communicate with. Management changes constantly. Advertised as an "international" graduate scheme but there's only 4 locations and 3 of them are UK/Ireland based.

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.
