Pros

Positive environment, entrepreneurial feel at least within the New Media department, very interesting multi-faceted work due to industry shifts (print to online, etc), high value of product/services offered, good communication between departments

Cons

upper management hesitant, conservative on implementing new changes, so a lot of new ideas/strategies ultimately end up in dust bin. unique purpose/organizational and ownership structure may be a factor to this.

AP is not the place it used to be.

Pros

AP is globally known, so there is a lot of prestige and recognition on the outside. Industry-wide, the salaries are excellent unless you live in a major city such as New York. The benefits are excellent and to a certain extent make up for the salaries. You're probably best off living somewhere else.

Cons

Long hours and overnights. Also, the instability of the news media and recent layoffs make it a less pleasant place to work.
