Pros

SHIFT has a fantastic cycling culture, enhanced by being in the same building as PSN, a fun/friendly/sporty atmosphere, and is a great contributor to the industry at large. It’s in a beautiful location in Bath. Fits very nicely into an outdoor lifestyle

Cons

Cliquey with industry perks not offered to all Poor reputation on salaries and progression plans Poor internal systems, processes, support functions Insufficient resourcing to workload and management not taking responsibility No parking

Pros

The only real positive was some of the people I had the chance to work alongside. There are genuinely talented and supportive individuals within the team, although many of them have since left.

Cons

-Long hours were regularly expected, with little recognition or time given back -Work–life balance was difficult to maintain -Career progression and development opportunities weren’t clearly defined -High staff turnover created instability across teams -Internal systems and processes often felt disorganised or inconsistent -Pressure to deliver strong results without always having the time or resources needed -Employee wellbeing and mental health isn't a priority, despite what they say. -Benefits are very limited and cliquey -The overall culture often felt like “sink or swim,” rather than supportive or developmental -A tickbox culture.

Pros

I really enjoyed my 3 months working with Shift, the culture is warm, welcoming and supportive and the opportunity to work with some of the most exciting brands in the cycling and outdoors world was a real privilege. I learned a lot and loved every minute!

Cons

Maybe a better coffee machine? Other than that - no complaints!
