      The AP road is a demanding and interesting road that leads you to the highest level of journalistic professionalism.

      Pros

      The AP prides itself on its accuracy, its an unbiased press company and gets the story right before going to print or transmission.

      Cons

      Long working hours are to be expected in this industry however they are appreciated and usually compensated in some way by management. Long term travel and being away from loved ones for weeks/months at a time are an automatic expectancy in the business.

      Prestigious organization; reporters/photographers have highest ethical standards; great H/R people; excellent staff, colleagues, co-workers, who are also decent human beings; most staff have been here a LONG time; not a lot of turnover as in other industries; never boring; pride in news quality, global recognition; some managers and supervisors superb

      Cons

      Frequent reorgs; looming layoffs, although growing in some departments; work loads enormous for almost all positions; internal bureacracy and communication issues have to be experienced to be believed; pay for some positions far below norm; benefits for non-guild poor, expensive; depending on location and managers, work atmosphere and environment can be great or horrible; news is usually depressing - hard to be around continually
