For Web Designers: high stress, make spam. - Web Designer Red Ventures Employee Review

The work is very bland and cookie-cutter. It's direct marketing, after all. You work very fast and cut corners to get things done as quickly as possible. Constantly changing priorities and no project management create an impossible work environment. As a designer you're at the bottom of the work hierarchy, so basically anyone in the company can come to your desk and give you work, and they do. It's very stressful and the pay is lower than other companies in the area. It's a stepping-stone job.
