Pros
Freedom of information, the First Amendment, speaking truth to power -- the mission of the Associated Press reads like the highlights of the founding ideals of America. There are few other companies whose job is to defend the public from the excesses of the powerful, and being part of that work is a real honor.
Cons
The company is run by journalists, who can do journalism really well -- but business, technology, etc, not so much. If the management of AP were to hire some real professionals to run its non-journalism parts, it would be unstoppable.
