GRS Named Among Best Places To Work

Shawn Folks • September 22, 2020

On September 15, 2020, Guarantee Restoration Services was named one of the 2020 Best Places to Work in Baton Rouge during a virtual event on Facebook and YouTube. The awards program is a project of the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report and the Greater Baton Rouge SHRM, an affiliate of the Society for Human Resource Management and Best Companies Group.


SELECTION PROCESS

Originally, this survey and awards program was created in 2014 to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Baton Rouge. Therefore, this recognition benefits the Baton Rouge economy, its workforce and businesses.

To be considered for participation, GRS and the other honorees had to fulfill the following criteria:


  • Have at least 15 employees working in Baton Rouge;
  • Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business;
  • Be a publicly or privately held business or government entity/municipality
  • Have a facility in Baton Rouge; and
  • Must be in business a minimum of 1 year.


Guarantee Restoration Services and other companies from across the capitol region entered a two-part process to determine the Best Places to Work in Baton Rouge:


  • The first part consisted of evaluating each company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics, which was 25% of the total evaluation.
  • The second part consisted of an employee survey to determine the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation.


The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Baton Rouge. This company also examined the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

“Best Places to Work is a great honor. GRS is the best place to work because of our awesome team,” said Marcie Richardson, Director of Human Resources. “Each day, they show up, make it happen and give it their all.”



Personally, this recognition is special to me, because it means that our executive team is doing a tremendous job of ensuring our employees are happy. We have worked hard to maintain the same company culture and values that my parents, Chunky and Ellen, first instilled when the company started in 1974.

Meet The Team | Marcela Argueta

By Christina Mullins • July 9, 2025
Saying Hi to July! The summer is here—and so is the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. No matter what it brings, you can be assured that our team at Guarantee Restoration Services will be there when you need us most. Meet the Team: Marcela Argueta Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase our many awesome team members. For July, we are shining the spotlight on Marcela Argueta , who serves as a Lead Technician at our New Orleans location. She was promoted to that position in January 2025 . From Honduras to GRS Marcela was born and raised in La Ceiba, Honduras , also known as “la novia de Honduras” —which translates to “the bride of Honduras.” She moved to the U.S. in December 2016 after earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras . Marcela is currently approved and ready to take her exam to become a registered nurse in the U.S. Before joining our team in August 2022 , she worked as both a nurse and a homemaker . Life Outside of Work Marcela is a proud mother of two—her son, Sebastian (15) and daughter, Eleanor (5) . When she’s not working, she loves spending quality time with her children and extended family. Fun fact: her half-sister, Brenda , also works at GRS in our Baton Rouge office! One of Marcela’s favorite pastimes is going for walks in the park. She says she often uses this time to meditate and reflect—thinking about what she’s done well and what she could improve.
