Pros

- Great free gym with amazing coaches if local to Solihull

Cons

- Poor leadership - Terrible pay; most staff not paid competitive rates & receiving real term pay cuts this year - Bonus advertised as an incentive but hasn’t been paid out in last 2 years - No progression; no development plans put in place for staff, no opportunity for promotion or progression, lack of training opportunities - All good staff ran for the hills after the redundancies, those left stuck picking up the pieces given no clear direction

Looks shiny from the outside but not worth it

Pros

Majority of people that work there (non managers) are great and they really help you stick around at the company probably longer than you would otherwise. Nice staff gym

Cons

Management lack experience Constant dangling carrot of progression but it never happens. Don’t expect payrises Way underpay compared to industry standard but try make it seem acceptable by shouting about the fancy offices and that you get the free gym. Sadly neither of those pay your rent.

Pros

always stuff happening so not really boring lol

Cons

Managers have no experience, so many of them got jobs through friendship. They say 'Gymshark family' yet there is no family feel it is SO clique like. Their approach to mental health is saddening and awful. HR team aren't loads better than managers, lots of people leave due to mental health being worse whilst working here.
