Brilliant place to work

Pros

Gymshark truly is a terrific place to work. You don't get the usual sense of hierarchy that you would at traditional businesses, with senior management being very approachable and humble. It's genuinely a case of 'best idea wins', no matter whom it came from with everyone striving towards the same goals. You feel empowered in your role, are given the necessary training and support as well as development plan. Above all else, the company preaches a 'family' culture which it 100% follows through with...definitely the best place I've worked at!

Cons

I have been here now for almost 6 months and cannot think of any cons I've experience thus far

Pros

Great CEO and the founder is really nice. A lot of young people and nice working environment. A lot of focus on mental well being. Nice gym that all employees have access to. Nice modern building with nice canteen and clean toilets. Flexible working hours. Good amount of holidays.

Cons

Pay is too low at first I thought it was normal but doing multiple tests to see if I'm getting paid fairly and checking others peoples pay who are doing the same job i saw that its was significantly lower than it should be. Its really hard to be promoted with them mostly hiring externally. A lot of inexperienced people in high positions I have seen a lot of people be hired through connections and who they know not what they know. I'm in no way qualified for high up positions but I have seen a lot people who are at lower positions who are much more qualified than mangers who have been hired cause there friends with someone high up. Really unorganised we don't really have a set goal on what to complete and when to complete it. There quick to sack people with the great growth of the company its always changing which means there always changes in staff.
