Mercy Housing Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Mercy Housing

Pros – Supervisors are knowledgeable, competent and supportive. Their support provided me with the mental and physical space to take the - sometimes radical - measures necessary to improve the operations of my property.

Cons – Mercy is a large, management-intensive company and its current (as of 2010) method of disseminating best practices to its people in the field is simply too cumbersome to remain effective. By the time new operating practices have been disseminated and incorporated by site teams, executive leadership has already developed new operating practices. This rapid development and slow dissemination does not provide site teams the opportunity to help craft new operational practices - leading to feelings of disenfranchisement with their organization.

Advice to Senior Management – Your Property Managers are your connection to each individual site team. Spend much more time training your Property Managers how to train their staff and you will dramatically reduce the time and money spent on site staff headaches.

Pros – Everyone is very nice. The office was pretty laid back.

Cons – Pay was not market rate obviously given it is a nonprofit.

Advice to Senior Management – Budget more efficiently so you're not laying people off randomly! It is expensive and hurts your reputation.

Former Employee – worked at Mercy Housing

Pros – Non-Profit. Company values are very good. Mercy Housing is a non-profit firm that provides affordable housing to the less privileged. Their company culture is more like a family based culture.

Cons – Mercy Housing shares a building with other companies. And so, there isn't that feel of working into a company building every morning.

Advice to Senior Management – Have more friendly approach to people. Also, more get-together's outside the company structure could enhance productivity since people are likely to work as friends and colleques.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
