Capital-Guard-Security

Capital Guard Security, is a good place to work if you are in the security industry.  I was with them for a little over 4 years, until I moved to a state that they are not licensed.  I started as an officer, then I was moved up to a lead officer and before I moved I was promoted to a Field Supervisor. 
The owners are fair.  The Opps Manager that I reported to was easy to work with and listened to my scheduling needs. I was salary and the hours were long but the pay made up for it. I think the company opened around 2015 and it seems every year we had twice as many employees as the year before.  The best part about the job was not being treated like a number as i have been before at the nationwide security companies. The hardest part of the job was being in management and having so many officers reporting to me. 

I had high hopes for this company and was utterly disappointed. Do not waste your time here. They will tell you anything and everything you want to hear during your interview, and then lie about it after. 

There is zero work-life balance and they expect you to be available 24/7 (even on your scheduled off days). They expect you to be a manager to their employees, but will not even listen to your concerns (or even pretend to). They overwork you, but won’t even pay you correctly.

If you were hired based on your work ethic or actual job experience, good luck. The owners care more about friends. 

If I could give zero stars I would, but since I can’t.. the one star goes to the current Operations Manager. You will know it is him because he is the only employee that acts professional in the whole company.

I have loved working for CGS. The management is kind and caring. You truly feel seen and heard in this company. Since working here I have seen the company double over in size year after year! Jennifer, one of the owners has been in the security business over 9 years and the other owner Melinda has been entrepreneur/ business owner for 20 plus years! It has been such a pleasure working with all the employees. I work day in and day out with the operational manager and it’s our team mentality that cultivates such a great environment. Our operational manager is such a great leader that inspires dedication and hard work in a courteous atmosphere. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to know we have the best people giving it their all each and every day.

I have been working at Capital Guard for 3 years.  Prior to working with this guard company, I would change jobs often bc of poor management or drama.  This is one of the first guard companies that give me a weekend day off. I have received 4 pay raises in my 3 years.  I am now the shift supervisor at my office building.  The operations manager actually answers his phone and listens to any concerns I may have. I have had the same supervisor since I started working here, at my last job, by the time I learned my operations manager's number poof they were gone. When a post is vacant, we have to step up and fill in the post.  Thankfully, that rarely happens here.

I loved working for Capital Guard. I left when Covid-19 outbreak started. Owners were great to communicate with and made me feel appreciated. This was a growing company and needed solid management. Unfortunately, several managers I believe lied about their resumes and abilities which had a horrible impact on staff morale.
