Pros
The best part of working at the AP is it's reputation in the US. It's a great news organization. The reporters do an excellent of covering the news. Most AP employees work really hard at their jobs.
Cons
There are many cons to working at the positions. I can't recommend accepting a job with the AP unless your are a reporter or have a union job. The non union employees have no protection from bad management. Human resources can not be trusted. There are few promotion possibilities. The pay isn't great. Hard work may go unrewarded. Various different departments many not cooperate with each other. There are some really bad managers at AP and HR will defend them, Overall, the AP just feel like a big old bloated company struggling to survive in the internet age.
