Pros

- An incredible organization with an incredibly important mission, and they actually DELIVER on that mission Mental/emotional health are incredibly important and emphasized here - Mental health coverage is free for employees - Generous PTO, am never shamed for having to take off for not feeling well and vacations are celebrated - Some of the most caring, fun, and passionate coworkers I've ever had the pleasure of working with - A lot of employee-led workshops to learn about different departments and employee-led events to bond with others remotely - Devices are provided for you and you receive a stipend for internet usage - Everyone here is truly dedicated to our company's cause of helping young LGBTQ+ folks

Cons

- Common attitudes and issues that come with corporate do still happen here. Sometimes it feels like things that would be obvious to those lower on the corporate ladder are overlooked/weren't even considered by higher ups. -Pay increases only come with moving up the corporate ladder, and promotion are hard to come by due to limited availability of positions. - Can be frustrating to see external hires be selected/preferred for higher level positions than those who have been with the company/on the team longer in comparison. - Things are expanding/changing all the time, which is great but also feels a little TOO fast and constantly changing. Feels like we don't really have time to get adjusted to things before they change again.

The Trevor Project Response

Hey there, and thank you for the 5 stars! That's awesome! We also appreciate the thoughtful feedback you've provided... and yes, we are growing rapidly. That being said, it's important that we take the time to hear the voices of our staff to capture lessons learned and your down the road view of areas that could become problematic. I'd certainly encourage that to be raised within your direct team, but if you're comfortable, the People team is listening and would love your thoughts... you can bring them to me directly at trish.ferrett@thetrevorproject.org, or to any other member of the People Leadership team.

Pros

The best management and team I ever worked with doing work I appreciated with a focus on a vulnerable population.

Cons

Due to their focus being on LGBTQ youth, they are unfortunately at the mercy of trends in both politics and in philanthropy. Several rounds of layoffs happened as fewer people have maintained their conviction to protect queer youth.

Pros

The mission is one that is important and life-saving. The direct service staff is amazingly passionate and empathetic.

Cons

Upper management is completely disconnected from the mission and the severe impact the work takes on the mental health of the direct service staff. They’re running the organization as a corporation and expecting the employees who actually communicate with young people on the lines, text, or chat to act like robots.
