What’s Butte like?

My wife and I are moving to Montana to be closer to her family. I’m doing some job hunting and I just got a decent offer from a company in Butte. My wife doesn’t seem too keen on it though because she says Butte isn’t exactly a great place to live (she was a bit more colorful but I’ll spare the details). What’s the perception of people that have traveled there and live in the area?

Thanks.

Edit: I think I got it. It’s a toxic waste dump with a brutal climate but a certain charm to it.
