Hi. We appreciate you taking the time to share your review with us. Feedback helps us improve, so we truly appreciate honesty. Firstly, we value all our North American employees, and we know we wouldn't be where we are today without the support from our US office. We appreciate there have been some difficult changes made at Gymshark in the past year, but we are prepared to help and support our employees through these changes, especially as we head into our next financiak year with a clear direction for Gymshark. We are truly sorry we couldn't have made your time working at Gymshark more positive, but we'd love to take advantage of your constructive criticism going forward! If you are willing, please reach out to one of our representatives at glassdoorresponses@gymshark.com for a more in-depth discussion about the points you have raised. Thank you again.

Pros

Pro: people team did a great job hiring individuals and put together a great group of people.

Cons

Cons: Leadership promised jobs to open up for years and they didn't. Not their fault but UK board wasn't transparent with how poorly company was doing. Too much emphasis on the UK when more of their business is done in the USA. Poor fashion for men and don't listen to what customers want.
