Very Productive

Area Manager (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 24 December 2019

All in all this has been a good company to work for as I have seen major growth from management to the company as a whole, my day would normally start by making sure rota's are complete then site visits. I learned alot while working for Bridgegate Security, time management, diarising appointments, Client customer service, general manageing skills. The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be client feed back.

Bridge Gate security

SIA Door Supervisor (Current Employee) - Cardiff - 11 November 2019

The area manager can be arrogant and patronising. Don't ever think that the venue you are placed at will be your prement venue as he will move you around venues which will change your working hours. They remove £7 off your wages for insurance without telling you and have to jump through hoops to claim on it. The self implode payment manger is exactly the same as the area manager and think they are better than the other staff. You will be constantly under staffed at venues and don't bother trying to phone the area manager he never picks up but will get ahitty with you if you don't pick up his phone call

Jobs at Bridgegate Security

They need more professionalism, equality of employees and customers

Doorman (Former Employee) - Leicester, Leicestershire - 23 September 2019

This company has lost many brave door supervisors because of the lack of professionalism, absence of respect, hypocrisy, lack of equality within the team and also discrimination towards some particular types of guests or customers. Wages don’t reflect the amount of risks faced during night shifts in dangerous clubs. Rudeness from the operation or area managers. Lots of bad behaviour need change

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

Good Job

door supervisor (Former Employee) - Berkshire - 8 May 2017

Get to meet all kinds of people good bad crazy fun. learned how to take care of people and your Team mates, And how to deal with all kinds of situations. Management is good. Depending on what venue your working, the culture varies. Hardest part of the job, having to take of more people than you can handle if a fight brakes out. Fun atmosphere.

Door Supervisor

Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Nottingham - 19 December 2016

While working as a door supervisor my main roll was to keep customers safe within the venue at all times. I learnt how to stay calm and still remain polite even in tough condition. My co workers at the time wasn't the best letting the team down at times. The hardest part of the job was communication with management but the most enjoyable part of the job was seeing customers enjoying themselfs within the venues.

Pros

Free soft drinks

Cons

Poor comunication, and no team work.
