Pros

APMEX is one of the largest internet retailers on the planet. They are one of Amazon's, Wal-Mart's and EBay's biggest partners. That means they are on the cutting edge when it comes to leveraging business analytics, Search Engine Optimization, e-commerce web design, you name it. They give people the opportunity to step into positions with responsibility they wouldn't see for years at other places, let them play with some of the most progressive "toys" in doing their jobs, and teach you in 2 years what it would take you 10 years at other places to get exposed to. If you want to catapult your career into the fast lane, this is the place. During the busy time of year, the Operations group who work in shipping has had to work a little longer hours. With better staffing, that is mostly an issue of the past. It's pretty much a 40 - 45 hour week for everyone around here. Some people might criticize work/life balance around here, but in my opinion, those are just the people who want full-time pay with part-time hours.

Cons

They're looking for sharp, go-getters. If you're a government employee type who just wants to ride the clock into retirement, this isn't the place for you. You will be expected to make an impact and to contribute. You'll be given the latitude to do just that, but with great power comes great responsibility.

Pros

Working here has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I’m empowered to make my own decisions without being second-guessed, which allows me to truly drive meaningful change. The team I work with is phenomenal—collaborative, supportive, and passionate. I feel like I’m making a real impact every day and contributing to something that’s scaling in a big way. It’s rare to find a role where you have both autonomy and influence, and I’m grateful to be part of it

Cons

Staffing can be a real challenge. Entry-level pay isn’t very competitive, and some of the systems feel outdated and overly complex, which makes training harder than it should be. You wear many hats such as food catering and procurement can be especially demanding in busy seasons. The business is market-driven, the volume swings can be intense. It’s tough to staff appropriately without putting strain on the team. Still, if you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys solving tough problems, there’s a lot of opportunity here.
