To be honest, this is really hard because I always try to be fair in reviews, but there genuinely are no pros here. I suppose you could say they were "flexible" with scheduling, but that flexibility was just disguised exploitation expecting 24/7 availability without the commitment.

I was hired as part-time but expected to work like a salaried employee with no schedule or boundaries. There were constant last-minute demands requiring late nights, weekends, and skipped meal breaks due to poor planning. Management repeatedly asked about my full-time interest to extract more hours, but never made an actual offer. I recognized quickly this was toxic and would never have accepted full-time even if offered. I fixed critical data and systems issues in weeks that had been broken for months before I arrived. The moment I requested reasonable scheduling and a return to original part-time terms, my hours were cut to zero immediately. I was terminated after setting boundaries, then pressured to perform free work on the exit call. In my opinion, finance leadership is deeply incompetent, disorganized, and condescending. If you're being recruited for automation or systems work here, don't fall for it - they will squeeze everything out of you within contracted hours and discard you when done. I'm giving you this advice because I already went through it, so you don't have to. Just don't work here.
