What is the best part of working at the company?
At Daniels you are treated with respect and are part of the Daniels Family. I know some companies throw this statement out there however Daniels lives it each day. From our wonderful CEO to the people that I work with each day I always feel they are looking out for me and care. It is common that our CEO knows your name and talks about you in a group setting and may even reach out to you and talk with you depending on certain achievements you have accomplished. Daniels has proven to me that I matter and the work I do for the amazing company matters and I want to be a part of that now and into the future!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful is the unknown related to medical waste. When COVID hit there was so many questions with little to no answers and this created a high level of stress for the teams and individuals. We stayed positive and calmed everyone as best as we could but that to me was the biggest stress I have ever had in any professional role. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The fact that we love coming into work and making healthcare safer is just the beginning, we really enjoy the people that we work with. Some of the very reasons that we come in with a smile on our face is because we get to see everyone that we work with. The teams at Daniels work hard but, we know that our work is recognized and we will be rewarded for our hard work and able to enjoy more time with the folks that made those achievements happen. Everyone has a role in Daniels and we do not want to fail because this would affect our people that we care about, so there is an added push to be great in what we do. Most days everyone is joking and sometimes making each other laugh at something that happened in the business that we found to be comical. There is very little times where the teams are upset at being at work or working at Daniels when an issue arises but honestly those days are few and far between. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
When I come in a greet the team with a smile and a good morning and if there are any high level emergencies I start looking into those first. The teams then meet for a morning startup meeting to discuss the day before and then throughout the day I am answering emails and chats. Inbetween that I am answering or directing the management team and working closely with all departments both internal and external. Sometimes my day does not end at the normal 5pm and I have 2nd or 3rd shift team members needing support or external sales, safety and compliance, asking questions or needing support.

The El Cajon, CA location was just launched utilizing company employees from other parts of California to bring it online. This company pays a fair amount and that's where the PROS end! The CONS are blatantly obvious. A management from lead drivers and up that seem to bend over for the customer regardless whether it affects the employees moral. Elements of the management are extremely unprofessional due to openly speaking their obnoxious opinions about current politics and religion. The management does not care about your professionalism or experience because everything gets done their way whether it's detrimental to the employees. On the surface, initially the management will seem very nice but, actions Always speak louder than words. In time, you will see that it's all about the customer and making money.  Elements of the management  aren't working together and it overall seems that they don't know what they're doing. 
Not everyone in management comes from a Truck driving/operations background. The main problem with Daniel's is that the company is growing too fast with the current demise of the competition and doesn't have competent professional people to expand with and they use anyone in the company to start up operations.
Working at Daniel's was a huge disappointment and waste of time.
Investigate and ask many questions before you accept a job with Daniels.
I highly recommend that any professional CDL driver stay away from this outfit.
If you're new to driving and need experience, you can achieve that with Daniels just be warned that there will be a lot of nonsense to put up with.

I truly have enjoyed my journey here at Daniels. They definitely hear your ideas and suggestions to make this a better place. Since joining I have seen so much progress and hard work from the P&C and Leadership team  to make the work place better. They created more channels of communication with our plant, field service, and remote employees. Made sure to hear the pains and struggles of the employees by sending out surveys and also following up with new hires. In the short 3 years I've worked here I've seen so much growth and worked alongside people who are passionate, hard working, and enjoy making a difference. As for the bad apples, I think it's fair to say you are going to find that at any work place. I've never had a bad experience working with different managers at the plants, hospitals or support office. However, if i ever find myself in that situation I can say with confidence that I know exactly who to speak with to get it resolved.  
I truly enjoy helping people and advocating for anyone who is in need. My current position allows me to do just that and also explore other avenues of interest. 

Benefits: Recently they have created a more affordable plan, that's amazing specially if you have more dependents. 

Culture: I truly believe they try on diversity although, it's not the best. They do try. I've seen postings in Spanish for jobs, announcements, etc. 
CEO, he's a very people person willing to listen to your ideas, engages with employees directly. Does not have a personal office, he works along side all of us. 

While the weekends off and PTO are nice the overall company is a dead end to most.The product itself is superb but the management is terrible ! Probably the worst I have yet encountered.Good workers are over stretched to compensate for others that are not only lazy but accommodated for there bad behavior and not held accountable! Horrible team work due to lack of management discipline and direction.Machine necessary for production is constantly breaking down hindering production numbers.The compensation is below industry standard initially ( though they will say its "Competitive" ) and raises are virtually non existent,or if acquired is laughable.While I believe the CEO has a great  product I feel he is either misinformed about his management cultures lacking or chooses to embrace its anemic structure by design .My suggestion to current employees or potential employees is don`t expect to stay long , this is a band-aid job for most to get you to better opportunities .Suggestion to the CEO is to start implementing an actual training program and merritt system to advance your more productive workers into eventual managerial positions to further teach incoming employees properly to create like minded individuals.Quality over quantity ! And lastly have a meeting via Skype or in person with each plant management staff and give them a full understanding of communication and its importance because they greatly lack this skill set and you are losing great workers due to this deficiency.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Learning and development are a HUGE deal for me in my career and the leadership here truly pours into their employees with constant coaching, recognitions and showing me a true opportunity for advancement (unfortunately at my last job I had endless on calls days, nights, and even over the holidays for years with 0 work-life balance and constant false promises....Which resulted in my  departure from the company). If you are looking for a job that offers stability and hands on training, this is the place for you!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I feel fully supported by my team, so I haven't really encountered anything " stressful" 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We all come from different backgrounds with different ideas but at the end of the day we have daily goals that are non-negotiable and our team is one big family! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very straight forward, leadership tells us every single day "this job does not have to be stressful, lean on your team members and data to drive results"

I was told by management that, if I get 2nd shift in shape (finishing orders quickly and running stock for the next day for the remainder of the shift) that I would be made team leader and be getting a substantial raise... After I reached these goals the plant manager hired his buddy to become the night shift manager, and he receives the credit for the productivity that I enabled. 
Management so desperate for "bodies" on the floor that they hire will hire mentally ill and/or elderly people to do fast paced work in an unsafe environment! 
ONLY ONE MECHANIC servicing the US and Canada, so when the machine breaks down you just have to endure it limping through the day for months.  During COVID-19 initial lockdown they cut our hours!!!! No raises or anything. Fire exits blocked by finished product!!! A truly pathetic facility. 
Lunch room floor sticky from medical waist on worker's boots, flies everywhere because no one cleans up after themselves. Men's room/ locker room toilets broken and filthy. Ground water seeping in from the floor whenever it rains. Hopefully OSHA or the EPA will shut these guys down!


Simple job made difficult by poor management. 

There’s a constant lack of communication and daily use of compulsive language from management down to drivers. There is a serious lack of respect and complete absence of self-awareness at all levels. Leadership lacks common sense and accountability often blaming employees for mistakes that stem from unclear directions or nonexistent protocols.

Operations are chaotic, with no proper workflow or structure, resulting in a highly unprofessional work environment. No surprise that over 60 employees left within a year. If management can’t understand their own roles, how can they expect employees to succeed in theirs? 

On top of that, the workplace culture is toxic. You can’t trust your own coworkers; gossip and backstabbing are common, and there’s no real team bonding or support among staff. 

This company needs a complete overhaul from top-level leadership down to daily operations in order to run efficiently and succeed. Without serious changes, long-term success is unlikely.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I appreciated the opportunity to work across teams and on a variety of projects, which kept the work interesting and allowed me to continuously build new skills. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
• Managing multiple high-priority projects and deadlines simultaneously across teams and regions
• Frequent shifts in leadership and management direction, requiring constant realignment and adaptability
• Navigating changing priorities and expectations due to organizational and management turnover
• Balancing strategic marketing initiatives with urgent day-to-day requests
• Coordinating across departments with different systems, timelines, and communication styles
• Ensuring accuracy and compliance in a highly regulated healthcare and waste environment
• Sustaining momentum on long-term projects despite internal changes and evolving leadership structures

picture this - you work for a team that’s never fully staffed but the work never stops rolling in. Instead of hiring more people, they push work off to you and place unrealistic productivity goals in place. Training is subpar. Most likely, the person training you just wants the work off their desk so they rush through your training leaving you with unanswered questions, and the expectation to produce the work. When you ask for help, you’re told you received all the help you needed and that the reason you can’t complete tasks is because you’re not taking good enough notes or asking the right questions. Imagine being forced into a new system then told by your trainer (the only person who can help) that you are asking too many questions and “bothering them”. Mostly everyone is unhappy. In the past month multiple people have either left or gotten fired. I’d stay away. They push this idea of culture that’s inclusive, but mainly you’re overworked and unsupported by management. 

Trial by fire was the way I was shown how to do things with the company, I was given some training but all of the upper management was stationed over in Australia and you would get emails at all hours of the night on your company phone and partially be expected to answer them. The plant manager that is stationed in the facility only cares about himself and his standing within the company, if it made him look good that that's what was going to be done come heck or high water. Quality was pushed aside for production numbers until it blew up in their face and there was a major issue which caused them to have to refocus...which only happened for a short period of time and then it was back to numbers numbers numbers just like he wanted. Opportunity to grow was there for assembly workers but not my position. They cut back the workforce  and only had about 10 people working there when I was let go due to "poor preformance" when there really wasn't anything for me to do with my day that wouldn't get overridden anyways.
