Pros

Entrepreneurial environment - one of the best things about working for this company is the entrepreneurial mindset of the people I work with. From day one, I was expected to make my own decisions and in turn, create solutions to fix problems. The range of responsibility spans different roles and functions which make the learning experience unparalleled and steep. I feel very special working for this company as the value of your work is truly appreciated and recognized. Work-life balance - the company lives to its values of celebrating life, everyday, everywhere. My colleagues encourage life outside work and the company instituted ways to make this happen through staff benefits. Fun - open bar and free drinks on certain Fridays. :)

Cons

Sometimes, the work is taxing because I have to fulfill the urgencies for different stakeholders. Can be really stressful but it's part of the entrepreneurial environment

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.
