      Poorly led

      Pros

      Heads of department and below are good people, but exist in an organisation which cannot communicate with itself and is grossly misled. If only Steve Hewitt hadn't of left us - things were so positive then. There's an unhealthy sense of arrogance and entitlement amongst the directors and chiefs which makes us worry about the future of the business. Everyone is worried about ibo security because there have been repeated restructures sometimes with no warning. Could be a great place to work if it was led better.

      Cons

      Poor leadership Substandard pay which they claim is higher by including benefits with made up values

      A mixed experience in a company at a turning point

      Pros

      A company name on your CV which is well regarded. Excellent facilities for those willing to be office based, including well designed work spaces, fully equipped gym with classes and heavily subsidised food. An entrepreneurial workforce with a ‘can-do’ attitude. A growing focus on diversity, inclusion, mental health and physical wellbeing. Openness to hybrid and flexible working.

      Cons

      Gymshark has got too big for the enthusiastic – but inexperienced – senior leadership team, resulting in a series of poor decisions over the past 24 months that are negatively impacting profit. A chaotic working environment due to no alignment at the top and lack of processes across the entire business. A history of promoting those who’ve worked at Gymshark for a long time, without assessing broader role capability, has created a number of managers who lack the experience required to set strategic direction and develop people. Ambiguous job remits, combined with a culture of recognising those who shout the loudest, means employees who deliver quietly but consistently are overlooked. A restructure and redundancy process which was supposed to be company-wide, impacted some functions more than others. This created accusations of favouritism, uncertainty, and a breakdown of cross-department collaboration which are still unresolved 7 months on.

      Hey! Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We understand that being so open and honest may not be easy, but we really appreciate it. It's great to hear that you feel a strong sense of diversity and inclusion when at work, as this is something that we hold close to our hearts at Gymshark. We know that the past few months at Gymshark haven't been easy, and we are now more aware than ever of of the need to continue to professionalise. We strongly believe that as our new business plan cascades through the business, there will be a sense of direction and leadership, which will be clear to all employees. This new business plan also focuses on Performance Culture, something which will benefit all employees and their personal and professional growth. It would also be great if you would be willing to discuss your feedback in further detail. Our People team is always there to listen, so feel free to contact your People Partner for a more in-depth discussion.
