Pros

Gift cards at anniversaries, 50% clothing, free/subsidised lunch and sick pay. The team I was part of was great, including direct management, and felt a sense of community before the restructure. Great offices and working environment when looking at day to day. Great if you live locally or want to relocate as the office provides everything you'd need. CEO seems genuine and can tell he's doing the best he can with how fast the business is growing.

Cons

The senior leadership team are inexperienced and the majority that were kept in the restructure are pal-y with the CEO. There was poor alignment between teams which meant all projects/campaigns were last minute. If you can't handle fast-paced I'd advise against working here. The restructure and removal of jobs on mass last year was communicated poorly, which meant people in certain teams could see which roles were being removed before the actual person in that role knew themselves. The People team do pay reviews BEFORE you provide evidence of your years worth of work and reasons for promotion etc. meaning they don't let you prove your worth before they review your salary and you have to rely on upper management where (in some cases) they rarely check in and review you.

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.
