      Pros

      The staff that worked there (aka other team members).

      Cons

      Where do I START!!! The pay was below average they paid 11.95 on REGENT STREET? Shocking. There was an imbalance between different members of the team getting different pays (e.g. visual merch team got 13.95 for designing a couple of layouts and steaming some clothes? Please). Management is poor, new managers joining the team are “warned” of the team which I think is so twisted considering the team were sold DREAMS during onboarding and promised development during their first year of service. Members of the team are chosen to go and represent the brand at events but they only pick white people to go? It makes 0 sense and the same people go every time and deserving team members don’t get opportunity. One manager said that the team “get away with murder” which is a LIBERTY considered we get talked to like we’re nothing and looked down on. One of the managers came in hungover as hell and was sat down doing no work all day - this manager has also come in HIGH ON COKE before… YES YOU ARE READING CORRECTLY JAW SWINGING AND ALL! The rest of the “managers” are mid and most of them barely do any work and are just enjoying their power trip. Store has lost 2 deputy’s already because of issues amongst the team and them being unable to handle the workload? They have this ethos of ‘family’ yeah they couldn’t spell family if they tried. They force you to do overnights and DONT PAY EXTRA? Unsociable hours and no extra money LOOL okay? High staff turnaround and their “HR”? Yeah non existent, it’s literally one person who does everything and doesn’t have time to be in the store to actually support the team? They say be friends with your team lead and talk to them but they’re all cows who act concerned about it and then go and talk bad about you to other managers who tell other people in the store and it then come backs to you. No trust or privacy in the store. Anyways rant over don’t work here guys it’s never worth the money

      Pros

      Great perks, Nice discount, friendly staff

      Cons

      4 years ago, i loved working for Gymshark, I was so proud. Every company update was so motivating and you could really see how united everyone was. Fast forward, times have admittedly changed. Now we have to worry about whose team will be the next to go. Things have changed in this world and we are now being told we have to come into the office at least 3 times a week. Other companies are working smarter and keeping this as an option as it’s wasteful driving into the office when we can do our job at home. The “main working” office has now moved across the road which lacks windows in many working stations and the office is either too cold or too hot The lift is extremely slow and was fitted like this on purpose to stop staff from using it unless necessary which goes against any inclusivity the company tries to portray

      Pros

      Cool brand, passionate employees, great facilities and 50% discount on clothing.

      Cons

      Not shiny under the hood; some really poor in experienced leaders, values are generally not lived by, ambiguous and chaotic environment, bias promotions, lots of grievances and leavers. Location can be a blocker. Consistent, equitable reward and recognition can be career damaging as they get this very wrong, so if you value this think twice. You’re either in or out of the circle. If serious about your career then think carefully about this company. If you like crazy and you’re are a risk taker then it may suit you.
