Pros

It's been really amazing to come into a business that genuinely cares about its staff and wants to make everyone feel a part of the Gymshark Family. I've never worked anywhere like this before. Everyone gets their head down and works hard for the business, but we get major rewards and recognition for this too. We recently had a Gymshark Summer Party which was amazing, and we have the Lifting Club which is an absolutely unbelievable facility. These are major motivating factors in making you want to do well and succeed at Gymshark. My team have been brilliant and I'm learning so much from them. They're very supportive and patient, but also put their trust in you which means you're more confident to take big steps and throw yourself into situations. There's a lot of extremely talented people here and it's easy to see how Gymshark has grown the way it has. There's no sense of hierarchy here, you feel comfortable to go and speak to anyone in the business. I genuinely feel inspired working here and want to achieve the best I can for the business. We are majorly encouraged to be the best version of ourselves here. I feel so lucky to be a part of this place!

Pros

Lots of visibility across the business. Able to make an impact across all levels. Being able to know everyone in a business from execs to chiefs - not many places where this still happens.

Cons

Toxic culture - looks great on the outside to others but on the inside it's very much a struggle to progress or be recognized unless you're one of the original members of Gymshark. Lack of leadership - too many inexperienced managers who have either been promoted due to them knowing people in high places or have been there for a long time. A lot of people aren't being developed and left frustrated by the lack of leadership. There are some great leaders across the business but then there are some really poor ones. Working hours - they promote "flexi-time" but in reality if you leave on time or do your core hours people will look down on you which makes you feel pressured to stay longer.
