Pros
Great company mission, nice people, and diverse culture. Background checks are impeccably processed. Team members are friendly and are ready to lend a helping hand even if they aren't qualified or properly trained by management to handle completion of I-9 forms, processing payroll, affordable care act compliance, or exit interviews.
Cons
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.
