how come so many Americans are cheating or just not paying them?
Answer
Because a certain segment of our society are given massive tax-cuts, write-offs and are seldom audited! I am referring to the rich, who often do not pay taxes or they hide them in dummy corporations in Lichtenstein.
"are you talking about the democrat nominees?"
Hardly!
"What I love about the Republican Party is that they have somehow successfully sold themselves as the "Family Values" party. The GOP leadership which seems to be composed entirely of homosexuals, drug abusers and prostitutes and/or johns--and that's just the right wing clergy--The rest of their big idea men have been consistently wrong on their every prediction or have either lied to Congress or accepted bribes or outright stolen. Republican Family Values are just a step above those of the Soprano Family." Dallas Morning News

Anyone out there work for The Richards Group in Dallas, TX?
shellj_fox
I'm a year away from graduating and this IS the ad firm I want to work for. It's a long shot that someone on Answers will work there, but you never know. Does anyone work for The Richards Group? What's it like? What are the advancements and pay like? How long do you have to be there to get on the creative team? ... here's to hoping someone answers...
Answer
I have a very good friend who was recently laid off from there. This person had worked there for a several years but luckily had their book up-to-date from occasional interviews at other agencies - and told me the agency was laying off people a few at a time to keep news of their layoffs from hitting the trades, which mass layoffs would do. Stan Richards is quirky but runs a "tight ship" and doesn't put up with lax business practices, which is a good thing and has made his agency financially successful. Time sheets are due daily (if you're late you get fined) and all employees punch a time clock (an actual time clock - so no coming in late or working odd hours like so many creatives do). They have good accounts, many employees have been there for many years and have profit sharing. My friend was upset upon getting laid off but was partially glad, for they'd gotten to where they hated working there. That's all I know - good luck!
