      Don't Buy the Hype

      Pros

      Especially below leadership levels, there are some really incredible people in the company. Additionally, there are some nice perks if you work in North America like fitness stipends and 50% off for all Gymshark gear.

      Cons

      The leadership will do "lay offs" for specific people if there's any lack of alignment or dissenting opinions. When I first joined they sold that the company was "family first" and talked about how the people in the company are what makes the business great, since then they've had three rounds of layoffs impacting hundreds of former employees, and subsequently changed their definition of "family first" to being solely about their customers. Beyond that, they're awful at internal communication, if you work in the US you'll be treated as a secondary employee and won't receive the benefits of being at HQ, and finally, and most egregiously, Ben Francis hired all of his college buddies (young, white, men) to be chiefs of the business and they are severely lacking any strategic direction at the top.

      Hi! We appreciate the time you have taken to leave this review for us, and we are grateful for your openness and honesty. First, we would just like to let you know that we completely agree that all our North American employees, current or not, are driven and ambitious individuals.

In particular, we believe our core values stand strong in our new business plan, which is currently in the process of being cascaded throughout the business. That being said, we are always looking for ways to make Gymshark an even better place to work for our employees, and so we would love nothing more than to have the opportunity to discuss the points you have raised further. If you could please drop an email to our People Team at glassdoorresponses@gymshark.com someone will be in touch! Thank you again.
