Amazing area manager and head door
Door Supervisor (Current Employee) - Exeter - 30 April 2023
I think this company does vary between doors but my full time door is amazing. The head and deputy take as many teaching moments as possible and even let their staff teach them new things, there's no overly authoritative atmosphere. The area manager is very supportive and acts like a friend to you over any form of boss. Best doors I've worked

Great working atmosphere and something fun always happens
Head Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Nottingham - 28 March 2023
Was a great place to work, had a phone call was told to come down that night, had a conversation with the manager and he said 'do you have badge on you, want to start tonight' so i said 'yes' and jumped straight into my first shift that same night. The nightclub scene was eye opening for me. I met many great people and have great memories from my time.
Pros
Great atmosphere if you enjoy meeting random people
Cons
Long hours outside during winter, if you're working front door

Providing security in night clubs and pubs
Security Guard (Former Employee) - Bristol - 13 May 2020
Working from 9 pm until 2-3 am on Friday,Saturday nights mainly but also some Sundays prior to Bank holidays and nights during Christmas.Smart appearance required but coat, tie and high visibility jacket provided by the employer. Free parking behind some night clubs available. Opportunity to meet all types of people from all walks of life. As a security officer you have to carry out body frisks, check handbags and toilets for knives and drugs. There can often be first aid emergencies and you need to be prepared to contact the emergency services. There can also often be some challenging behavior which you may have to deal with. However there is good team work and organisation to help keep everyone safe. You may work inside and also on the Door.

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.

Brilliant company.
Door supervisor (Current Employee) - Hertfordshire - 31 July 2019
Before I started with this company, I heard mixed reviews from people. But as always you have to make up your own mind and see it for yourself, so I did.
I've had absolutely no issues whatsoever with this company! Been there for 4yrs, they've looked after me in terms of work, and it has all been very professional on both sides.
They give me the hours if they are available, and it's not difficult really is it?!?!
You do your hours, be part of a team, do a good job, enjoy your work and get paid on a set day, job done.
It's extremely easy to get hold of someone from HR, if there should be any issues, they get resolved immediately.
Pros
Great team work and venues.
Cons
None

if youve got a good team then you're laughing!
Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - 22 July 2017
When I worked for this company there was a good team and everyone watched each others back. It depends on the venue and staff you work with but it seems everyone looks after number one on the doors now. As for the company it wasn't that bad. money could be better though.
Pros
good laugh, doesn't feel like work
Cons
money, career advancement non existant
