Pros

* Global news organization. * Good name to have on resume. * Decent opportunities to move around if you want to. * Collective bargaining agreement protects against abusive management.

Cons

* Pay is lower than at other newswires. * Deteriorating benefits. * The current CEO decimated the newspaper chain he led before joining AP by making very poor business decisions. * Talent is fleeing.

Pros

Excellent journalism brand, great colleagues

Cons

Terrible upper management, good old boys network, atmosphere of doing more with less, expected to work long hours for free, women are mommy-tracked, veterans (good ones -- not disgruntled do-nothings) driven out for young people with little journalism decision-making background
