Cons

The environment was laid back..but had an urgency to implement cost reduction through Layoffs/Termination.Semi- Friendly environment...Management changes FREQUENTLY!!! Out with the OLD in with the NEW attitude..The VALUE system was never implemented as planned..It really was a joke..Pay was not suitable for the job...Safety was not DIAGEO #1 Goal... More of a by " any means necessary" get the job done attitude...Interaction with Managers was limited or none..Maybe, because of union 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.
