Hi - we really appreciate you sharing your comments on Glassdoor and we are very encouraged that there are some great positives and "fives" in there. However, we are always looking to improve, so we wondered whether you would be up for a short conversation with your People Partner/advisor to discuss your concerns, so we can address them.

Pros

Good company benefits e.g free lunch, gym and PMI

Cons

Perks don't pay bills and pay across a number of different teams is below industry standard. Also lots of inconsistencies between grades and salaries across the business - some execs in the same team with nearly a £20k difference in salary! Same at other levels and grades too. Poor management of hiring process, mass hiring spree over the past 2 years which is now resulting in a lot of those people being made redundant and Gymshark not proposing to pay those people with less than 2 years service any redundancy pay - The package for those with over 2 years was merely uncapped statutory - not reflective of the 'give a sh*t, family first' values they talk so openly about. Complete lack of clarity and clear business direction. A lot of ego and lack of respect and understanding for some functions and parts of the business and particularly unreceptive to feedback on anything that doesn't validate the opinions of a small group of people - typical boys club culture and success depends very much on who you are friends with.

Pros

Great if you're one of the lads or love an office with loud music and plants. Free gym for locals. Super brand with potential to be great if cons are addressed.

Cons

The chiefs might be best mates but they are pulling in completely different directions. Very laddish culture. Two women have just been laid off the board. Only care about top line growth rather than a sustainable customer strategy. Don't listen to their colleagues. Completely hypocritical of supposed values.

Hi - Thank you for being so honest with us. We know being open with how you feel is not always easy, so we really appreciate it! We understand times at Gymshark recently have not been perfect, however, we are still learning on our journey. We believe we are growing and maturing as a business, and more than ever we are aware of how we need to professionalise. While we are still a young company, we are really eager to use the feedback you have shared to learn and grow. We'd love to have a more in-depth conversation about your ideas, so please reach out to our People team, and together we can collectively work on ways in which we can make Gymshark an even better place to work!
