Pros

Lots of visibility across the business. Able to make an impact across all levels. Being able to know everyone in a business from execs to chiefs - not many places where this still happens.

Cons

Toxic culture - looks great on the outside to others but on the inside it's very much a struggle to progress or be recognized unless you're one of the original members of Gymshark. Lack of leadership - too many inexperienced managers who have either been promoted due to them knowing people in high places or have been there for a long time. A lot of people aren't being developed and left frustrated by the lack of leadership. There are some great leaders across the business but then there are some really poor ones. Working hours - they promote "flexi-time" but in reality if you leave on time or do your core hours people will look down on you which makes you feel pressured to stay longer.

Pros

What I love about working at Gymshark is its collaborative culture, where people are opened to each others ideas and initiatives, and are not afraid to test out new things. Everyday is different, and a lot of thing change due to the very fast paced nature of this business, but this is exactly what constantly brings new opportunities, potential to develop new skills and exciting projects. As for the GSHQ - I have never worked in a better office than this, in particular the office cafe, Refuel, which offers the most incredible choice of food. Overall, I absolutely love working at Gymshark.

Cons

If you are not opened to change and can't work in a very fast paced environment, then, probably, Gymshark won't be the right place

Pros

I've never worked at a company like this before. Every single person that works there is intelligent, interesting and genuinely cares about each other. The CEO and management don't feel like CEO or management. There's no real sense of hierarchy or certain roles being valued over others. Everyone in the company has a say and everyone's input is taken on board. There's a genuine concern for the welfare of the staff and there's nothing you'd feel uncomfortable sharing out of fear of judgement - it just doesn't happen here. It's quite hard to describe until you come to work here, but I've never felt more valued, supported or inspired in your working life.

Cons

None so far, really happy here.
