Good values but low pay and leadership issues - Anonymous employee Butler/Till Employee Review

Butler/Till is a strong place to work overall, especially if you value a collaborative culture and being surrounded by smart, supportive people. Anyone who’s worked at a truly toxic job before understands how good it is to work here. The company does a good job fostering a team-first environment where employees feel respected and where leadership genuinely seems to care about people. Other pros- ESOP , immediate 401 k match w/o vesting. Great coworkers, fun “perks” like food and swag. Career growth opportunities and the ability to learn new skills and cross train.

the company is in a period of rapid growth. While that creates exciting opportunities, it can also lead to some growing pains. Better to work at a company that is expanding than contracting though. That said, the growing pains can make it hard to have a work life balance; which is something the company has historically championed. Processes and structures are still evolving, which can sometimes make things feel a bit unclear or fast-moving. For employees who are comfortable with change and adaptability, it can be energizing—but for others it may feel challenging at times as the organization continues to scale.

Workspace is clean and modern, nice amenities.

It is rare to encounter an organization that manages to be simultaneously over-managed and completely unguided. While the company may present a polished exterior to stakeholders, the internal reality is a sobering study in how poor leadership can actively dismantle professional talent. The primary issue stems from a leadership tier that appears fundamentally disconnected from the operational realities of the industry. Decision-making is characterized by a "whim-of-the-day" philosophy, where long-term strategy is routinely sacrificed for short-sighted, reactionary pivots. This lack of a coherent North Star has created a culture of perpetual "firefighting," leaving high-performing employees exhausted and directionless. Beyond the logistical failures, there is a palpable lack of empathy at the core of the organizational structure. Employees are treated as fungible units of production rather than human capital. The "humanity traits" one expects in a modern workplace—mutual respect, psychological safety, and genuine recognition—are nonexistent here. Instead, they have been replaced by a climate of surveillance and a "bottom-line-at-all-costs" mentality that has pulverized morale. Key Observations: Laughable Decision-Making: Resources are consistently funneled into vanity projects while core infrastructure is left to crumble. The Talent Drain: The organization’s inability to value its people has resulted in a "revolving door" of talent, where the most capable professionals are the first to exit. Incompetence as Standard: There is a staggering lack of accountability at the top, where failures are routinely pushed downward rather than addressed at the source.
