Pros:
- Incredible experience.
- I've never experienced a company like the Richard's Group. Everybody there seemed to really have passion for the company.
- I worked on the Home Depot account and got to see all parts of account. I helped out with planning, media, and creative coordination. I put together competitive decks and social media recommendations - I was able to present these to Richard's Group senior management.
Cons:
Be passionate about the agency's business. I think each ad agency has a different culture and perspective.
Advice for other students:
Don't just spam out resumes, get to know people at agencies.

Pros:
- The Richards Group has an independent culture that I just don't think you can find in other agencies (or so I've been told by my friends who have worked at other shops).
- Worked alongside creative teams and got to know a couple creative directors prety well.
- Felt like part of the family.
- Cool office.
- People.
- Interesting brands like Honeybaked Ham, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, and Summer's Eve.
Cons:
Some people say that the creative is more traditional rather than cutting edge.
Advice for other students:
Know who in the agency is making the hiring decision and craft your application based on that. Overall, I loved the Richards Group.
