Pros

I enjoy servicing the kiddos and connecting with the families on the growth & improvement of their child. Its fulfilling to build these relationships. As for the company, managements has improved. I enjoying having Lauren as a clinical director as she shows true interest in helping staff. HR Director is much better than previous HR persons in the past. She responds quickly to my questions and benefits are much better this year! Operations manager Olga is hard to get a hold of but super helpful when I reach her. Overall, I think the new leading team does a wonderful job. My co-workers are great and super supportive. Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

Driving around the city is tiring, lots of documentation, very little appreciation. The Executive Director changes contracts multiple times throughout the year (unstable feeling) and then seems resentful about giving me (and some co-workers) a decent contract. I cant disagree with other reviews that say she is greedy and only cares about making money. She can be extremely cynical and unkind when she is upset. I do not feel she appreciates the work staff do.

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand the value of our staff and under the guidance of our Executive Director, our senior management team is empowered to build strong relationships, provide quality services, and more importantly, ensure our staff feel appreciated. Our Executive Director has an open door policy where staff should feel comfortable enough sharing concerns or dissatisfaction. Her diligent involvement in the practice with staff and operations is what sets her apart. Without her perseverance in helping kids with disabilities, her passion and commitment, this practice would not be possible. Starting from her home 30 plus years ago to now having 3 offices and employing 250 staff members, the level of dedication from our Executive Director speaks volumes. Our industry and company has experienced many changes throughout the years in which we’ve needed to renegotiate contracts but not without careful review of market value along with the consideration of our benefits packages, 401k plans, vacation, holidays, continued education reimbursement and more. The company contributes an incredible amount of money towards these benefits to ensure our staff live healthy lives. We offer competitive wages and all-inclusive benefits that as a whole, is incredibly generous. SLEA has grown tremendously and at times, assignments may require staff to travel to different work sites but it isn’t permanent and we work diligently to ensure our staff’s commutes are as limited as possible. Having said that, we deeply appreciate the flexibility of our staff who go the extra mile to meet our client’s needs. SLEA has been in business for over 30 years and we are proud of what we’ve built, the lives we’ve changed and the work opportunities we’ve given. If you’re an active employee, we welcome you to reach out to us directly so we can discuss improvement opportunities.

Pros

The families served are wonderful and a meaningful part of the work experience.

Cons

Decrease support from admin and HR, with available support often inconsistent. Workplace culture can sometimes be impacted by interpersonal dynamics. Lack of adequate training for staff in neuroaffirming practices. A significant amount of administrative responsibility is placed on providers, including communicating with families (calls/texts), tracking attendance, and enforcing attendance policies while on top of managing high caseloads, completing daily documentation, and writing reports. This can contribute to workload strain and reduced time for direct client care.
