Pros

never worked at a non-profit that had such a laser focus on its mission. trevor is helping more lgbtq youth on its crisis services than ever before and has plans to expand the number of kids and the quality of services even more over the next few years. as a kid who grew up without knowing the trevor project existed, i am so impressed and grateful that everyone is working so hard to help even more queer and trans kids. it's definitely not easy work, but i'm grateful to work for a place that cares about being there for every single LGBTQ+ young person who needs us.

Cons

-wish we could go back to the office -hoping for more social events -would love to see more professional training

Pros

Pay no attention to what I'm writing, Instead, seek out people who worked at Trevor in the last year or so. Anyone except someone at the very top will tell you the truth. Then you can decide for yourself. My pros: - At the lower levels, talented and passionate folks doing difficult work. - A worthwhile mission, at least on paper.

Cons

Again, don't take my word for it. Talk to someone who works at Trevor, or worked at Trevor within the last year or so. My cons: - Exceptionally bad (possibly criminally bad) leadership at the very top: the CEO, the COO, and the Board. It's as if they don't know how a nonprofit works, and when you try to tell them, you get fired or criticized for wrong thinking. And then they return to their endless meetings about how important diversity and transparency are. - Morale at such a low level that a whole lot of folks are shy about being definitive about what they do or what they're expected to deliver. - Critical nonprofit infrastructure is missing (if I said it here, you wouldn't believe it -- so instead, talk to someone directly) - Two massive layoffs in one year, and there are more coming (this isn't a guess, this has been said -- behind closed doors, of course) - Employees are attempting to unionize, and good for them. But... the partner union they've aligned with is going to turn out to be a bad choice. All you have to do is look at their books to see that...
