Hi - thank you for leaving this review for us. We are sorry to hear you feel this way, however, we really appreciate your openness and honesty. We believe our core values stand strong in our new business plan, which is being cascaded throughout the business. Having said that, we are always looking for ways to learn and grow. If you are willing, it would be great if you could reach out to your people partner so we can work together to make Gymshark an even better place to work!

Pros

Clothing Discount, co-workers, work from home

Cons

Communication skills from top to bottom, hiring over qualified individuals with a promise of growth opportunities with no actionable steps or possibilities to grow, immediate contradiction of “values” at the first sign of struggle i.e. putting family first (this should also include your staff), expectation to live in a metropolitan area for most positions that could be done remotely, providing a “competitive pay” while expecting “world class results”

We truly believe our core values are clear and strong in our new business plan, which is in the process of being cascaded throughout the business. However, we would love to discuss the points you have raised in more detail. If you'd be up for a conversation about these areas, our People team would be happy to listen! If you drop them a email on glassdoorresponses@gymshark.com someone will be in touch. Thank you again.

Pros

The North American employees are driven, ambitious, and kind individuals who like to work hard and have fun. A generous employee discount.

Cons

No strategic direction or follow through. Decisions are made in a vacuum and change often. There is no accountability or ownership which leads to chaos and finger pointing. Due to the C Suite's inabilities time, money, and energy are wasted in accomplishing even simple tasks. Many promises will be made but most will be broken by leadership in the UK. They have zero clue to what they are doing.

Hi - We appreciate your openness and honesty in this review. Firstly, we whole heartedly agree with you that our North American employees are driven and ambitious individuals. However, we are very sorry to learn that we couldn't have made your experience working at Gymshark more positive. We understand that the past few months at Gymshark have been rocky, but, we also understand that with the business changing and growing every day, finding the right balance between being right, ready and qualified for positions is, of course, a challenge. That being said, we are confident that our new business plan will allow us to support people through these changes. It would be great if you were willing to discuss the points you have raised in further detail! Please drop an email to our People Team at glassdoorresponses@gymshark.com, and someone will be in touch. Thank you again.
