Butler Machinery Company

The work life balance is terrible. The pay was once competitive with the other competition but not anymore. It seems that the company has really gone down hill. The majority of the senior technicians have left and all that remains are the younger techs with poor attitudes. The stress level is always higher than it should be because of a select few problem makers. I have seen 4 other employees leave because of them. If you work here you spend the majority of your life around very negative people. If you are a person out of high school they have an excellent program called think big. Its the best thing the company has to offer. If you are an experienced tech then you are wasting your time here.

Butler Machinery has opportunity for advancement, training, and more. Management is open to hear your thoughts and help work through tough decisions. If you're looking for a place to work this is it. You have to have a strong work ethic and want to help the customer but you're rewarded for your efforts. When people ask if I would recommend working here,  I always say yes but it's a job where pride is something found in all of us. It's not a place for anyone, but for eager learners, hard workers, and integral people; you'll fit right in.

As a soon to be former employee I would not recommend this company. The company has conducted meetings to address the concerns of employees but as expected the concerns went unheard by our management and corporate office that conducted the meetings, Changes were made recently that have driven morale to a new low and it’s a horrible place to work.  The company has turned into a typical large company that is run by people that have no experience in the actual business that is conducted.  A suggestion would be for the corporate employees to put their phones away and listen in the meetings.

When I was interning there I was trying to keep busy by cleaning shop or helping another technician, so it was very slow. Then they wanted you to work on something that you had little to no experience on in a timely manner. The employees there were great but some people in management could bring the moral down. The shop doesn't have adequate ventilation, so when there is a couple engines in the shop running it gets hazy very fast.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with my team was for sure my favorite part. Eveyone really cared for each other


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I had an office job, there wasn't really any

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
For the most last everyone was really nice, some higher ups can less than ideal

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go meet with my team to see whats going on for the day and complete whatever tasks I have

Horrible culture , if you are looking for family oriented this is not the place. Very low pay. Closed doors always gossiping, strange  group of individuals that work there. Not worth it very fake! Claim their health benefits are great. Not so much more expensive then other places. Management is horrible !!! Too many other jobs out there this is the job you don’t want.

I had no experience when starting at Butler and with the help of my coworkers, I got up to speed pretty quickly. The culture since new leadership had made a world of difference (so I've heard) and it's a great place to work. When I leave work, I don't have to worry about it until the next morning which allows family time. I highly recommend Butler Machinery as your next employer.

Management goes on work retreats and has the flexibility to work remotely when they please. Even though my role can be done 100% remotely I cannot work the day in between holidays and the weekend remote. I have family that lives hundreds of miles away unlike my boss who doesn’t leave Fargo unless it’s their kid’s sport event. All their competitors offer much better work life balance and have bosses that have an ounce of understanding when it comes to personal life. 

This is a union job so if you like unions  good luck!Managements  hands are tied by the union. Culture is terrible and very toxic  there values of our team accountability integrity excellence and safety are all a joke they hold up to none of those! People get fired loose their job and get it back and one even got promoted to management.  Management and ownership think they are the biggest fish in the see and think they can tell people off and end up loosing business! 

Butler is a great place to work for those that want to be a part of building our communities.  It’s not easy work but it is very fulfilling.  We serve customers that build our roads, produce our energy and put food on our tables.  Our owner is very accessible and wants to hear from her team to continue to improve our culture.
