      Pros

      Very nice people. If you are a hard worker you will move up. They are very enthusiastic and fun people to work with

      Cons

      Election time can be extremely stressful. There are some people who do not do their part so you will have to do it

      A mixed bag

      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.

      Learned a lot about what not to do

      Pros

      There were some good people there, and I learned a lot from them, before they were ultimately they were driven out. Also, there are so many product lines and so much to do that, being on the business side, you could really get your hands dirty and learn how to run a product first-hand. As long as you didn't care about the bigger picture of the company, it was a great place to learn.

      Cons

      Between power struggles on the business side and a lack of caring about the business on the editorial side, this is not a place that will have success.
