The leadership lacked direction but I enjoyed the people there. The industry is unique and the company struggled. - Specialty Account Manager APMEX Employee Review

Pros

Decent pay and the benefits were fair, average but fair. Working there gave me a better understanding of investing and I also gained a new love for coin collecting.

Cons

The industry is difficult to survive in as your sales are truly dependent on the market. There was ZERO growth potential and there is a culture of fear due to the many layoffs over the years. Some of the leaders are out of touch with reality.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're happy that you learned and gained a new hobby during your time here. While we do work hard to balance our number of employees with the realities of the marketplace, there did come a time when we made the difficult decision to reduce staffing levels to keep pace with the market. However, we've grown as a company year over year and continue to look for ways to make APMEX an employer of choice for the Oklahoma City market.

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 Entry-level pay isn’t very competitive, and some of the systems feel outdated and overly complex, which makes training harder than it should be.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