I'd like some help understanding why I have to restart my Mac every morning when I get to work in order for the bluetooth to start working again. It is a work provided machine, running Yosemite and it has a couple things which I cannot remove as well, like Symantec this and that. Once I reboot though, I am good all day long and never have a problem with bluetooth. It is only when I come in to work in the morning, and it is EVERY morning, without fail.
In contrast, my home MacBook, never has this problem. The difference in machines are that my home machine is several years older (2011 ish), is running El Capitán, and does not run any Symantec anything. Does anyone have any ideas why I might be having this problem?

If you could narrow down when the bluetooth fails - that might help us help you. Apple will give you instructions on how to enable bluetooth diagnostics if you reach out to their support organization.
You might start with generating a diagnostic report each morning when the failure is present. Option click on bluetooth in the menu bar bluetooth icon - and the report will be generated on your desktop.
You might also schedule a shut down and restart each morning if you just with to sidestep the unpleasantness of waiting for the restart. That option is in energy saver in system preferences.
