Pros

-6 month maternity/paternity leave -knowledgeable/tenured union workers on the lines -have a well defined CI strategy and management system.

Cons

-operational support functions Quality/food safety/HR/governance/safety aren’t staffed with enough support roles to actually support the operations. Too many managers who point out problems and don’t contribute to problem solving or implementing realistic solutions. -revolving door leadership, constantly changing tactics. -current leadership is old school and claims to value and empower people but will be the first ones to shut down feedback and come down hard on line supervisors/ “worker bees” -upper management is disconnected, haven’t seen department leaders making an appearance to introduce themselves to employees on nights in AGES. - Short staffed on team leads- they will hold you back from new opportunities so as not to loose you and they will make you do the work of 2 or 3 people because they are short on your shift.

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.
