How Our Veterans Feel About Working at CapMetro


“We come to work everyday and know this job is so much bigger than ourselves.” — Ryan

Veterans at CapMetro:  A compilation of videos where you can hear from our very own veterans about what it's like to work at CapMetro

Manager


“Anything you want to do, CapMetro has it. Whatever you want to be, CapMetro gives you that opportunity.

Any department I work in, there's someone I have a positive interaction with or learn something from.

CapMetro has given me the opportunity to enjoy what I'm doing.

I wish I had known about CapMetro when I got out of the military. Anything we've done in the military, I've found here at CapMetro.

Every time I go to the VA, I am recommending that veterans come to CapMetro.”

Manager


“Since I've come on board here, I've learned to lead by example. Those that work with me have told me it's great that you're here because you bring a fresh set of eyes and leadership.

A lot of companies say they're pro military, but when you interview with them or come on board you find that's not necessarily the case. At the interview stage CapMetro understood my background. They understood what I was able to bring to the organization. It's an inviting environment.”

Senior Director


“I enjoy the work. They give my problems to solve and I enjoy solving problems.

I get to focus a lot on leadership and running the department because my staff are amazing.

I would tell any veteran to apply. I know I'm getting a person with a good work ethic, a person who will work hard and adapt and is willing to learn. Plus, it's been a worthwhile experience for me.”

Marketing – Frontend Web Development - Designer UX/UI


"Albeit many people don’t immediately see web development or visual design as a clear path after leaving the military, but for me it was a natural next step. My design foundation came from my degree program and was strengthened through hands-on military experience, which made the transition into digital work seamless.

Joining CapMetro felt like a meaningful return to service in a civilian role. The values I carried from the Army—hard work, discipline, accountability, and pride—still guide how I show up and contribute every day."

Director


“I highly recommend CapMetro for veterans. Public transportation could use your commitment, discipline and most of all your leadership. The leadership skills I learned and the training I received in the Army prepared me for management opportunities.

CapMetro is an excellent place to grow, learn and challenge yourself. I earned my degree here using the tuition reimbursement program. Their wellness program has helped me continue the fitness habits I learned in the military.

CapMetro has supported me even when I've exercised other opportunities. This place is home for me, it was very natural to transition from the military.”

Vehicle Maintenance Supervisor


"CapMetro is ever-growing and forward thinking. We've got a lot of good things coming for our veterans. You can't find a good company to work with that promotes growth as well as CapMetro does. In the military, you’re looking for that next rank and that next big thing in your career and you want a company that does that.

What I did [in the Corps] directly corresponds to what we do here at CapMetro, dealing with that high level of maintenance and maintaining a certain standard."
