Joined a team based in fleet, quickly learned who I was working with and what they expected and from then on tried to progress which happened nicely! Always supported by my area manager and head office. Moved on from head door a while ago but still go back to help.out and earn some extra every so often. Fully recommended company to work for.

Pros

Cons

N/a

Not bad company

Door Supervisor (Current Employee) - Exeter, Devon - 15 April 2020

Area manager is not to be seen or heard of and I guess if hears about this I won’t be needed again but it’s true. No welfare checks or support of just asking how the teams are doing. Defo seen when a problem though and very unprofessional.

Not great

Security at large car auction and festival site (Former Employee) - Nottinghamshire - 2 January 2019

As security it was always tough. Job security is at a minimum. Dealing with some issues lead to unexpected issues. It could be very socially and emotionally difficult.

Pros

N/a

Cons

Management could be difficult

Average security company

Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Cardiff City, Cardiff - 2 October 2018

The industry is poorly regulated. Because of this many people are opting to leave the industry, which I can understand why. Bridgegate security are one of the better organized employers in my opinion

Pros

None

Cons

Possible missed payments

A good support network

Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - 25 March 2018

I worked for Bridgegate for 9 years in Notts and was mainly happy. The pay was on time and the hours available. Only left as the venue's were squeezing the hours and not leaving much to work for. A good starting company with good support and training.

Pros

Good payers

Cons

Area manager changes

Never dealt with brigegate directly.

Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Cardiff, Cardiff - 5 March 2018

During my contracted position I was working a busy Cardiff nightclub and was thankful for the experience and the opportunity. Overall I haven’t got a bad thing to say about the company as I never spoke direct with them.

Pros

A nice wage.

Cons

Nowhere near enough hours or respect for their relief staff.
