Serious Systemic Issues - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Supportive Living Solutions

I worked at SLS for about two years, and held multiple positions at the company. There are many serious issues going on here. If you're looking for a place to make a difference and gain experience working with adults with mental illness, this may be a great field for you - but you may want to look for another company if you'd like to avoid major burnout and plenty of company drama. Lack of cultural sensitivity and diversity inclusion training is painfully evident, even though the company’s clientele is made up almost solely of people from diverse, marginalized populations. Executive leadership consistently the buck onto middle management when things go wrong and revenue goals are not met, while middle management is set up to fail by impossible workloads and little to no support from higher-ups. Upper management claims they want feedback from mid-level and entry-level employees, but if you speak up about the issues you and your team are experiencing (no matter how professionally/respectfully), you are scolded for spreading gossip or not being positive enough to fit the company culture. Almost the entire senior leadership team is made up of the CEO's family, which leads to lack of true accountability at the highest levels. Family ties were even hidden when a new exec was hired to create the illusion that you don't have to be related to the CEO in order to move up in the company. If you're looking to make a difference, feel supported in your role, and find a company you can grow into a career with, please don't be fooled by what will probably be a great sell during your interview - this is not a company that will follow through on their promises. There's so much manipulation and dysfunction on a daily basis, and you do not have to work in an environment like that just to get experience in the field. Find somewhere that will support you in the work that you do - places like that really do exist.
