Pros

It is evident that people take their work very seriously here by putting their best foot forward to help make APMEX a leader in the Precious Metals industry. I've quickly made friends with many coworkers, even those I've yet to actually meet in person. To be able to communicate with ease amongst other employees not only makes work easier for me, but ultimately trickles down to the customer and boasts the high level of service they receive. There are many perks right from the start: free lunch bar, covered parking, t-shirt and jacket giveaways, paid leave, insurance, continuing education benefits, bonuses, theater and basketball ticket giveaways and more!

Cons

Precious Metals was a foreign subject to me as I had no experience within this industry when I first started and at times was overwhelmed. However, this is to be expected with any new job. Maybe a week long training course for new hires, before starting their new position, would be beneficial as a way to introduce those to this industry.

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 Entry-level pay isn’t very competitive, and some of the systems feel outdated and overly complex, which makes training harder than it should be.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.
