- I was informed by a senior manager that Daniels does not provide annual raises; instead, you need to be promoted to increase your pay. If you expect regular pay raises based on market standards, you may want to consider other employers.
- They offer only a limited number of federal holidays off. When questioning why certain holidays (specifically MLK Day & Juneteenth) were not observed by the company, a member of senior leadership commented that "some employees don't support that day," which raised concerns among the team.
- Upper management's perceived lack of respect and multiple instances of inappropriate behavior both in and out of the office by members of leadership routinely made the team uncomfortable.
- There's a practice where employees appear to be laid off, only for their position to be posted again the next business day, causing confusion among affected employees.
- The company portrays itself as a family, but there are actual family relationships at the highest levels of management. This can complicate the resolution of issues within the company.
- Gossip is prevalent and can create uncomfortable situations between departments.
