Pros

There are no pros of working at APMEX.

Cons

Management has created an extremely toxic environment and refuses to acknowledge these issues and enact any meaningful change. If you work in the marketing department, you will be undervalued and underpaid because the CEO does not think marketing is important. The pay on average is about 20% lower than the average in OKC, and you will not be able to get a meaningful raise. You are expected to be available 24/7 and the culture/management has no respect for boundaries or work/life balance. Do not work here.

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 Entry-level pay isn’t very competitive, and some of the systems feel outdated and overly complex, which makes training harder than it should be.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