Pros

Refuel A handful of really talented individuals (external experience)

Cons

Senior leadership. Some really inexperienced people making serious decisions but they’re just Ben’s friends. Brand function has a lot to answer for; there is absolutely no accountability from chief level down. No real succession planning, progression is based on who you know and who you’re friendly with. External experience is not valued here at all. Performance culture is banded around but those at the top still don’t really understand it or know how to embed it… Salary is shocking and work/life balance is even worse. Would not recommend right now. Needs to do a lot more growing up and a proper shake up of leadership.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us. Feedback is the first step towards improvement, so we really appreciate your honesty. To start, we would like to apologise that we couldn't have made your time working at Gymshark a more positive experience! As the business grows and changes every day, finding the right balance between being right, ready, and qualified for positions is, of course, challenging, but we are confident heading into the future. Our new business plan has a particular focus around performance culture, which we believe will help provide our employees with the right tools to support their personal and professional growth. However, we are always looking for ways to better ourselves, so if there is anything more you feel that we could learn from your experience, please feel free to speak to one of our representatives at glassdoorresponses@gymshark.com. Thank you!
