Pros

Great benefits, alcohol quarterly allowance to spend on brands

Cons

Low pay, extremely unreasonable hours, extremely stressful environment, those who get promoted are only promoted because their boss is friends with the top VPs vs promoted upon talent, finger pointing is ridiculous here no one is collaborative they just try to throw you under the bus. Toxic workplace I would never recommend this place to anyone

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.
