Pros

Free lunch Monday through Thursday, great coworkers, free parking, located in the Downtown area, corporate bonus, as well as a Christmas bonus.

Cons

Lack of employee empowerment, toxic work culture, most managers fend for themselves and not employees (not good leadership), entry level employees aren't as valued by the company as they should be, little to no work/life balance, employees are expected to overwork themselves for the same basic pay and an average annual raise, average compensation and lack of growth opportunities. Rather than compromising on any issues, HR will side with management on EVERYTHING, even when they're wrong. They currently hire managers and executives that are capable to do the job but DON'T fit the culture at all. There is a lack of minorities and women promoted to leadership roles. Diversity is NEEDED in this day and age. I'm not sure how they expect to grow and develop innovative ideas without them.

Pros

From the owner to the seasonal employee, everyone works hard. Senior leadership works as hard (if not harder) than anyone. Leadership is business savvy and makes good decisions. The business is successful and should have a strong future.

Cons

Senior leadership is selfish. They seem to go out of their way to be rude. You really have to watch your back at APMEX.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review of APMEX. The team here is definitely one of the best parts about working at APMEX. We apologize that the experience you had with senior leadership was subpar. We are always looking for ways to better ourselves and our team. As part of that goal, our executive team has taken leadership training courses with an outside resource to enhance their leadership styles and goals.

Bizarre working culture

Pros

Interesting business, decent compensation and benefits.

Cons

Weird cult of personality around founder/owner. Siloed management and working culture where sycophancy trumps competency and professionalism. A small-town company that still hasn't grown up.

We are sorry your experience with us wasn't positive. While we work hard to make APMEX a great place to work, we realize our fast-pace and strategy adjustments required to respond to the marketplace aren't for everyone. As the company has grown quickly, we've worked to enhance our culture so every employee has a positive experience. If you have specific advice to management, I invite you to send your comments to me personally at apmexhotline@apmex.com. Thank you.
