Pros

If you’re either friends with Ben Francis (Founder / CEO) or a male, this is the place for you - and if you’re both you’ll end up ok board. Bonus!

Cons

It’s run by Bens mates, which has its pros (they don’t really know what they’re doing so it doesn’t matter if you don’t) but if you actually want to develop and learn it’s not the place for you. I’ve been here for 2 years and while it’s generally okay (again head of department really unqualified for their position) other areas are just a mess due to the senior leadership all being way too under qualified to lead a business this size.

Thank you for leaving this review first of all. We appreciate you taking the time to be so honest with us. With the business being in transition and professionalising everyday, finding the right balance between being right, ready and qualified for positions is, of course, a challenge, but one we are endeavouring to support people in as part of day zero as we hope you will know. If you are willing, our People team would love to sit down with you and discuss how we can support you in your learning, development and in general so we can get this right together.

Pros

Gymshark really sticks to its core values. The people are awesome and great to work with. Excellent work-life balance.

Cons

As a UK-based company, working in the United States is tough sometimes. We often get information late from our UK partners. The company definitely needs to build out its US office more and add more vital job functions.
