Pros

good office hours, decent benefits, work life balance is ideal compared to other industries

Cons

- this company is going nowhere due to horrible senior management - lack of forward thinking and innovation in key departments is helping drive business into ground - the fact that people have been there forever would usually be a good sign. however it also contributes to the fact that people aren't aware of current best practices or trends in the industry. - company politics and relationships between people drive decisions here rather than what will help save the business -- broken business model

Pros

Good benefits packages including 401K, inexpensive medical packages. Kind coworkers across the US, easily accessible by AP communication systems. Good support for people who have work related disabilites

Cons

If you are not covered by the news unions, there are little to no raises each year. You are rewarded by being given more work, without any extra compensation or time off. It can be hard to get straight answers from people, and you are usually bounced around from person to person. People don't want to be held accountable for the information that they give. Very difficult to advance in the organization. Business model has been wavering during the past two years. This has created a lot of tension between customers and the AP.
