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

- Free Lunch - Lifting Club access for 2 friends / family too - Overall benefits - Opportunities to get involved with more than the day job

Cons

Gymshark is a toxic place to work. I didn't quite realise the extent I had withdrawn myself and my personality from work until I had left. It's cliquey, competitive, superficial and full of employees who are very entitled (especially considering actually how good the benefits are). Longer serving employers are treated more favourably and they can be rude, intimidating and dismissive, which is having such an impact on the culture. In my time at Gymshark I feel I was never fully accepted and enabled to do my job to the best of my ability as I was constantly coming up against resistance. Its disorganised, chaotic and lacks direction - huge improvements are needed before I would look to work here.
