Russin

I was coming out of school and became employed here. I received a lot of support during my employment. There is a lot of hands on training and they never throw you into the deep end without first making sure you're ready to handle a task. I began from working at home which allowed for excellent work home life balance, often times I would find that learning or projects would be reliant on my own follow up with supervisors. 

Any ideas or different ways of learning were accommodated for. The management team was very responsive to any sort of self initiative, and encouraged me to take time to  learn or to slow down to get a better grasp on a challenge. When we returned to the office, it was easy to integrate into the workplace culture. Everyone is very inviting and friendly, and whether you are introverted or extroverted, it is easy to find your niche and still engage with your peers in a productive and friendly way. The culture is very relaxed, but you'll find yourself laughing along with all of the jokes and personalities at Russin. Because it is privately owned, communication with the management is simple and they were always willing to have an open ear or take time out to explain something without micromanaging. 

The hardest part of the job was the distractions caused by an open office space, however this is easily overcame by the simple use of a headset. The most enjoyable part of the job was being treated like a person rather than just another employee and that was the attitude from every level of the job place. Russin can make for a good place to build a career, learn new skills, or even as a stepping stone while getting some experience as long as you try to provide value to the organization. I would recommend this as a place to work, especially for younger people starting out. 

 Many things have changed in the last 6 months with additional updates on the way. 
Not every change will be supported by everyone, however we try to make changes that are smart for everyone and create a sustainable, dependable workplace.  Most recent changes include upgrading working conditions, increased wages, upgraded benefits, improved workflow between departments to reduce frustration to work smarter not harder. We even have leadership changes underway to additionally support the needs of our teams. Our current driver vacancy is due to retirement. New opportunities continue as some of our legacy, long-tenured employees retire from positions across departments.  Make your own decision if what Russin is evolving to is the place for you.

I have been with Russin for almost 6 years and I could not see myself working anywhere else. I love the people I work with--management included. There is a true family feel to this company and that starts from the top. My employers genuinely care about me and my personal life just as much as they care about me succeeding at my career. I would recommend Russin to anyone who wants to feel like a person rather than a number.

Russin is a family owned company that immediately brings you on board and makes you part of “the family”. You are compensated well and given every opportunity to continuously make more $. Everyone works well with one another and knows their role within the company and respects the job the other person does. Although it’s very stressful at times, it’s good to have the support of the sales managers, OSR’s, OPS, etc....

Russin is a family owned company that absolutely makes you feel part of the family. Our company is very transparent with all that goes on at the highest level. Russin is always listening, learning and growing. If you are looking for a place to call home and work with some fantastic people, then Russin is the place where you want to start the new chapter of a life long career. 



The company's refusal to support union workers is concerning and goes against principles of fair labor practices. Employees deserve the right to organize and advocate for better working conditions without fear of retaliation. It's disappointing to see a disregard for worker rights.

Everyone in the office does feel like one big family, since the majority of people have been here for 15 - 35 years.  It's a lively open concept office, makes it easy to communitate with buyers and sellers.  Can be hard to get used to, but once you learn to tune other conversations out and can focus on your desk it isn't an issue. 

If you prove that you work hard at this company you will be rewarded. It is like a family at this company and each person has each others back. The culture is changing for the positive and is moving in a great direction.
