Pros

Great products that people love -- Smirnoff, Tanqueray, Guinness, Johnnie Walker, Jose Cuervo, Bailey's etc... etc... People are willing to work with each other. Great management-union relationship.

Cons

Difficult to set a career path. Promotions from within not as frequent as you would like to see. Operations can have long and unpredictable hours.

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.
