Russell-Standard-Corporation

Russell Standard is a good place to get a fundamental education in asphalt.  A lot of that comes from being a self-starter & resources outside of the company.  Internally, a lot of folks with knowledge have retired or left.  Positions are very ambiguous which can really benefit resume building, but leaves a double standard in place when it comes to pay & advancement opportunities.

At it's core, Russell Standard is just another construction company that got lucky on a few business deals but took on more than they were adequately capable of doing.  

When I started there, the company was silo'ed into functions, but now the silo's are between the middle & C-suite and the rest of the company.  Strong disconnect between the C-suite & employee experience.  I feel this is due in part to an inexperienced middle management that relays messages that cover up their own lack of engagement & knowledge.  

With a lot of companies moving towards D&I efforts, Russell Standard has taken a significant step back.  The gender diversity in middle & c-suite management is disparaging at best.  Efforts to building D&I organically with the staff are not considered.  

Similarly, the hardest part of the job at Russell Standard is getting a performance review where management delivers a company-wide assessment of an employee's personality. Interestingly enough, the disengagement allows them to be oblivious to actual accomplishments.

If you are a mature grown up, an independent thinker who doesn't need constant reassurance and followers to be able to exist, and who doesn't live to be in a clique, then Russell Standard is not the place for you. If you had enough of high school when you were in high school and never want to go back, then Russell Standard is not the place for you. If you believe you are at work to work and not play petty games and cause drama, then Russell Standard is not the place for you. If you believe management should be knowledgeable, available, and fair, then Russell Standard is not the place for you. If you believe that you should treat others with respect, then Russell Standard is not the place for you. However, if you are insecure, mean, jealous, petty, vindictive, immature,  get all your validation in life at work, want to re-live high school, are unwillingly to talk to coworkers not in the office clique, and are all around lazy and have no moral compass - knock yourself out! Russell Standard will be PERFECT for you!

I was a roller operator and also operated the chipper box and I loved my job I woke up daily and couldn't wait to get to work they are a very family oriented company and truly care about you and your family I had my mind set on retiring from Russell standard corp but unfortunately I had some personal issues that I allowed to affect my reliability at work and caused me to oversleep while out of town for work and made my crew suffer because I overslept and wasn't dependable since my termination iv found a job making 12 dollars more an hour but if I had the chance I would go back to Russell standard over my current job that I make more at i LOVED my job my coworkers were amazing and it truly felt like a family there and I felt that I found my forever career if you have a chance to get in here take the job all around amazing company 

This is an absolutely horrible place to work. Talk about two faced, they take it to a whole new level. They will make you feel like they are on your side and want you to succeed, this is by far the worst joke of them all. Trust NO ONE. They keep people who can't do the simplest tasks and plant managers who don't make good product and get the company in trouble. If you want to have no personality and will just be a "yes sir yes ma'am" maybe you might survive. If you have your own thoughts and might have recommendations run as far as you can. Especially if you want to work in R&D they don't really support anything and you get the same thing "we have done this for years" or "we have have used this for years why change" were just bodies to this company. They don't care.
