An Insider's view of Rue Gilt Groupe

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

I really appreciate Rue Gilt Groupe’s work-life balance. Our marketing team norms include limiting lunchtime meetings and after-hours emails, so there’s a distinction between work and personal time. Additionally, RGG’s flexible time-off policy and Summer Fridays mean Associates can take vacation, sick, and personal days as they want or need to.

Cade

Senior Analyst, Digital Marketing

What does your typical day look like?

The Boston studio is an unparalleled experience as a studio. I’m infused daily with creative positive energy. It’s a special place where collaboration thrives. It’s fashion boot camp. We are a small, tight, passionate group collaborating daily to produce impactful imagery. As a studio photographer, I’m challenged to deliver and raise the bar.
