Pros

- Nice office & facilities - Good perks - Ambitious strategy - Staff welfare

Cons

- Invisible seniors (The Ben’s boys club claim is very true) who are too comfortable in their role as they probably know they’re under qualified and wouldn’t land a role elsewhere of same seniority. The brunt of which ends up falling on those lower down the structure. - Inconsistent messaging from Chiefs on performance. - Awful internal governance (rumours of them going public a few years ago are laughable after seeing how it operates day to day) - Brand is EVERYTHING and is put before actual performance. - Seeing the video of Ben on his nans sewing machine and hearing the story about him being a pizza boy at every given opportunity… - The product, some designs are a horror show and there is a big disparity in price compared to quality. - No accountability or ownership and errors are never learned from. - Some people jobs genuinely sound made up. - Limited progression. - Chief of Brand seems to just be Gymsharks internal influencer determined to be the face of the company

Pros

Gymshark really sticks to its core values. The people are awesome and great to work with. Excellent work-life balance.

Cons

As a UK-based company, working in the United States is tough sometimes. We often get information late from our UK partners. The company definitely needs to build out its US office more and add more vital job functions.
