Pros

Lifting Club. Nice (empty) Offices.

Cons

- Chiefs and Directors force values down your throat but don't seem to live by them themselves. - They say pay is in the top bracket for the UK but it most definitely is not. - Employees who show loyalty and who have worked there since the beginning are forgotten and shiny new employees from Nike etc are adored. - 'Work Hard Stay Humble' yet some Chiefs do nothing but flex. - Some very big toxic egos at the top. If you challenge them you wont last long. - It used to have a great family feel but now nobody knows each other.

We appreciate your honesty and the time you have taken to leave this review. We understand things haven't been perfect here recently, however, we would be grateful if you could discuss your experience with our People team as this will help us improve for the future. We stand by Gymshark's core values and we are confident that our new business plan will see these values cascaded across the business. It would also be great to see you attend one of our Pay and Perks Ask Me Anything sessions (AMA's) so we can collectively work together to find a solution.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review on Glassdoor. We appreciate your feedback and honesty and we are sorry to hear of your experience while at Gymshark. While we understand that we have made mistakes, we are also really optimistic to learn and improve. In the new business plan, performance culture will play a big part in helping employees focus on their own personal and career goals. We would love to discuss your review further with one of our representatives to give you the opportunity to expand on your points!

Hey! We really appreciate the time you have taken with your review. We know being open and honest isn't always easy. Firstly, we'd just like to express that we are really sorry that you feel this way. We are really keen to establish consistency in everything we do, including the ways in which we lead. On the basis of what you have said, we would massively encourage you to pick this up with your People partner, as well as our well-being team. We are always eager to learn and grow, and we would really appreciate more insight into how the pressures at work might affect people. We acknowledge that we are a youthful company, and we know we still have much to learn. However, we truly believe that the measures we have started to introduce, such as Performance Culture, will have a really positive impact on personal growth, as well as the career growth of our employees.
