Pros

The benefits of the AP are pretty good in terms of medical. Also, the on-site gym is a plus. The employees at the AP are helpful and friendly which is a plus as well. Working at the AP does expose you do really understanding how media functions domestically and internationally which is always a plus to have.

Cons

Some downsides include no salary increase/bonus (there is no incentive to really work hard within the company). Also, unless you are in the media industry there is no advancement if you are an employee working for finance/operational areas. It seems like the company does prefer to hire externally vs. selecting internal candidates, that tends to be a pretty big drawback.

Pros

Great people. Fascinating company with a rich history, noble mission and complex challenges. The oldest and largest news agency in the world, the company is at a crossroads. It is interesting time to work for one of the few news companies out there that is exanding.

Cons

While making changes for the better the company remains is an awkward position, balancing its commitment to its members with its own self interest. Working toward these conflicting goals can be difficult and at times frustrating.
