Yes sir I used to work for these nut balls. The owner Ardia Neves, as everyone in complaints has mentioned is a complete loon, con artist, and her husband Roy Neves is even worse. He has a temper like a crazy person. Neither one Fish or Hunt! Which I always found strange since they sell and write about it.
Yes I have seen Ardia Neves go on a fishing trip if she can get it for free and bleed money from customers. That was the other thing, Ardia Neves and Roy Neves would promise all this "Copy" to a prospective client in exchange for free weekends, free guns (to sell) free fishing stuff (to sell) and a ton of other things just to make money on the side.
I always hated asking but if you didn't you would have the "wrath of Ardia" come down on you! And believe me at that point you were gone as an employee, it was that simple. We counted about 163 people who had worked for this company a 15 - 20 person company mind you, in a period of just 2 years. Revolving door to say the least.
And yes OMG it was so funny to read these post and have everyone tell about the infamous 3 price list or as Ardia used to call it "Get as much as you can list." You can easily pay doulble or even triple if your not smart and she can con you out of it. Roy would be screaming and cussing around the office to Ardia that revenues were down (they had just built a mansion off everyones cash) and to "get money in no matter what it took."
I have noticed the magazine is half the size and they have no website to speak of. They were woking on that when I was there 2 years ago. I think, just my thoughts of course, all that web cash went into their "dream home."
Anyways yes watch the price list, if you want to work there (you will be sorry) but watch all the sex talk and harassment it's way out of hand. And if read an article in Texas Fish & Game Magazine, yes they have a couple of good writers but know its basis is from people who write to bleed money from people in a very dishonest way, Usually from some poor guy working out of his garage, all the way up to Dodge and Remington Guns. The best thing I have read and the most accurate is the "Just plain creepy people" comment.
They sure are!!!
