Pros

Good company to have on your CV & good if you like be worked hard & pushed to your limits just for the experience. That is it!

Cons

Really work you like a slave, hardly any progression, management is all a bit scrambled, most senior managers are all stuck up! Treat employees like crap, a lot of people have been their for decades. Hardly anyone talks to each other, Finance is full of miserable sobs! All the decent people escape in good time. You have the place full of secret spy's, people who are clerical & who have been in those jobs for ages think they run the place, do as I say & not as I do mentality! Stingy budgets for a company who is meant to be a big player, use technology so old that you would almost think it is from a dinosaur age! Not much more to say, but you get the point, crap place to work. Full of rude people.

Pros

The AP is one of the last opportunities for print journalists who want to work overseas. It has been trying to produce more enterprising stories and to cut out the dull, routine coverage. There are loads of smart people who work there. Few jobs are more exciting than being a foreign correspondent.

Cons

The slogan goes: "You can't spell cheAP without the AP." Sadly, this is true. The company provides meager benefits, salaries are low and bureaus are understaffed. Granted, all journalism outfits are struggling with rapid change due to the challenges presented by the Internet. Cutbacks are part of the game. Taking this into account, however, the AP is a tight-fisted company.
