Pros

Interesting work, nice people to work with. Sometimes work/life balance is a challenge but overall nice place. The brands are fun and everyone is proud of the product we are working with. Each location has its own bar and Thursday happy hours are fun.

Cons

Headquartered in Norwalk. If you are a young person, it is not ideal area to work/live at. If you are a manager the promotion opportunities are limited due to limited number of director roles open. Take 3-5 years to move up.

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.
