SLEA Therapies reviews

First, I've never worked so hard and was so unappreciated. The Executive Director (Owner) is/was frugal, extremely unethical and very, very greedy. This is probably why there is a big turnover of employees. It's all about money, money, money to them. The company lacks structure and organization. You're pretty much on your own with lack of support. There were no set rules; you had to figure things out on your own. There was a lack of Supervision, which was also another red flag. Additionally, lack of communication was also a problem between administration and staff. It can take days for someone to respond via phone or email. There was also a great deal of micromanaging coming from the Program Director and Owner/Executive Director. The clinics are pretty much run by very nice young adults who've just completed their AA Degrees, as Speech Assistants (Not licensed Speech-Language Pathologists) in the field. It was quite alarming when the COO and HR Director left the company the same week. I would have to suspect that there was illegal activities going on (e.g., fraudulent billing? unethical practice?). The Executive Director is/was never present (always traveling and galavanting to Oakland, Israel, New York etc.) except at mandatory meetings which in turn, doesn't help in running an organization. There was so much red tape like you wouldn't believe.

Speech, Language and Educational Associates lacks organization, structure, integrity, and compliance. It's sad to see an organization with a wonderful mission drown in dysfunction. As a Human Resources Professional, I was prohibited from establishing job descriptions for employees and forbidden from auditing and correcting employee vacation accruals because I was told SLEA has no way to verify accurate vacation hour accruals actually taken by their employees due to SLEA's disorganization and lack of record retention best practices. The Executive Director/President is cheap, greedy, and refuses to automate creating tedious manual inefficiencies resulting in erroneous processing of data which sadly include employee paychecks.
