      Not the place to be

      Pros

      Gym membership Lunch allowance People are mostly really great Office space is modern with good facilities Good tech Sample sales Discount

      Cons

      Pay overall is poor and varies massively. Workload is very high and a stressful place to be. Seems to be no real strategy, people interpreting things differently and therefore no direction for staff. Things change a lot with no real regard for the impact it can have. There’s been a few on and off recruitment pauses since September, lots of really excellent people left during the restructure and not much communication to those safe or at risk. Also hired lots of people last year only to make them at risk of or redundant this year. Handling of the restructure very poor. Gymshark are very vocal about mental health support in the consumer community but this is not reflected within staff remit. Constantly told about resources for support but treating us with more transparency and dignity would have been much more beneficial. Information throughout consultation wasn’t great. Only offered statutory redundancy pay and was told via recorded message about redundancies. Not reflective of the values of Gymshark or how it was mentioned the ‘family’ would be supported. Felt like they were winging it.

      Pros

      - £5 lunch credit - Free gym (if you live around the office) - Nice offices (though always empty) - Great colleagues (at least in the lower ends of the hierarchy) have met some of the best people here

      Cons

      - Poor leadership from up top - Big egos that prevent good decisions - Lack of direction, leadership will say one thing then change their minds months later - All of the above link to the "boys club" culture that previous reviews have mentioned - Lack of transparency - Key people in the organisation were laid off, while others appeared to be safe, with no proper explanation given. Has led to an imbalance in workload. - Insists on "Gymshark values" that are not displayed by the company at all - Poor pay when compared to industry - Large pay discrepancies within teams, and discussing salary appears to be discouraged - Poor progression

      HI - Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We really appreciate you being so honest, as this feedback helps us to improve! We understand that Gymshark is a young company, and while still in the growth phase of our journey, we truly feel that we are learning and growing every day. We are more than ever aware of how we need to professionalize and we are eager to get involved in making improvements a reality for our employees. We are sorry that we weren't able to make your time at Gymshark a more positive experience, however, it would really benefit us to talk to you in more detail about the points you have raised. If you would be willing, it would be great if you could speak to one of our representatives about how we can make sure Gymshark supports its current employees.
