I enjoyed my time working with them.
Retail Security Officer (Former Employee) - Thornton Cleveleys Blackpool - 25 May 2021
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI am only allowed to work 16 hours a week, they adapted to this instantly and the manager is really friendly and welcoming.If there was a problem with signing in or anything relevant, there was always a member of the team I could text or phone. The issue would then be resolved.
Pros
Very quick response time
Cons
Having to prove myself constantly via video links.

Brilliant place to work
Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Lancaster, Lancashire & Events - 6 October 2020
FGH is a brilliant place to work, from the top level of management all the way down to the newest steward, everyone is all about the end product, a positive customer experience.As with any company of this size the odd bad egg does slip through the net, but once identified they are dealt with appropriately, be that further training in the first instance or in extreme circumstances removal of that staff member
Pros
Really positbe workplace and ethos, the development opportunities on offer and second to none
Cons
Long hours, but this is not hidden from you, this is one of the first things i was told about at interview

Great Experience
Door Supervisor (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 30 September 2020
I titled this review “great experience because that’s all I’ve had while working with FGH, the management of the company are amazing people who will really look after you and have your back, but due to the nature of the job be prepared to work hard. To be honest you want to work hard cos you know your working for a bunch of great people.
Pros
Paid Lunch breaks, getting annual leave is an easy process and they really protect your time
Cons
don’t like standing you might Not like but you’ll defo enjoy the ppl you work with, that’s about it really

Some Decent people
Security Officer (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 25 May 2020
Having well known footballers Come into store to shop
I learned patience
Management ain’t too bad I guess
Hardest part is doing an evening shift following a morning shift the next day
Get to see known faces come into store to shop

Dynamic
Door Supervisor (Current Employee) - Manchester - 18 February 2020
Shifts are never the same. Helps develop customer service/communication. Management nice but sometimes unhelpful and not respondent. Comradery among stuff. Best part is meeting new people. Worst part is sometimes working with incompetent staff (interviews should be tougher).

Do not believe this company's hype!
Door Supervisor (Former Employee) - Manchester, Greater Manchester - 31 January 2020
On boarding was great and then it all went down hill from there! I'll simply list the issues I experienced.
• Lack of management engagement, support, and consistency.
• Frequent and regular breaches of data protection.
• Cover ups of assault against staff members with no follow up or aftercare

Rewarded for hard-work
Security Officer (Current Employee) - Manchester - 13 November 2019
They provide security services across many different venues across the UK. If you show potential and can work on your own initiative, you will soon find yourself climbing the company ladder and given better roles and positions.

The hardest part of the job
Steward/Security (Former Employee) - All over UK and Wales and Ireland - 14 October 2019
It was fun to start with going to all different festivals and then it got a bit worse if you were just a steward like myself the people with licence SIA AA they took the mickey out of you. You worked 12-hour shifts sometimes more 8 in the morning to 8 at night or 8 at night to 8 in the morning it was different all the time I'm I remember doing a 20 hour shift and that does knackered me out
