I am currently working with mercy drive, the stuff members at the Bronx office Are the meanest person I have ever met, no self esteem for DSP workers. The mission of this agency is really beneficial for the individuals however the coordinator and other members make it invisible. No respect for the DSP workers, slow service don’t go there if you have another place to go, on the day of your drop in timesheets it’s really annoying and frustrating at the same time.
Thanks
Mercy drive is easy to apply, you go there and fill up the application, you need 2 professional reference letter, ID. it is better that you have your fisical updated. They send you to finger printing. If you have everything you start to work soon. Everybody is nice there. The salary nobody told me about it. I m still waiting to quit my old job if the salary is better that my old job.
Based on Mercy Drive Inc's 990's from 2010, 2011 and 2012 Part IX no one is being paid a salary. The lines are blank for 5)Compensation of Current officers, directors, trustees, and key employees, no salaries for 7)other salaries and wages nothing for 8)pension plan contributions and 9) other employee benefits. But there is line 10) payroll taxes of $83,055.
Trying to find out more about this non-profit is like pulling teeth since when you call the administration office at 718-725-9897 you get someone who is evasive and refuses to answer basic questions. They do not seem to know who their CEO is- Carol Jamabo ESQ. From my research there is no such lawyer registered in NYS by that name. Lot of billing of Medicaid to the tune of $2,000,000 a year for this fairly new non-profit that sprung out of no where in 2010. They do things like Medicaid coordination, Day rehab, community rehab and respite services. This is according to Gias Ahmed but he does not know how many clients that they serve or how many people actually work for the non-profit. So is this non-profit just taking advantage of the developmentally challenged individuals for the sake of billing medicaid millions for the past four years? Who knows but there web site is simply a bare bones page that provides little if any information. Based on their 990 they have over 110 employees. Seems like a hell of a lot less. Mercy Drive has moved to a temporary office from a tiny one off Yellowstone Blvd to one on 76rd in Forest Hills. Hey I don't blame non-profits from taking full advantage of the system because no one is watching and their is NO oversight of non-profits in NYS. US taxpayers just lose out!
