Capitalist Values Destroying a Beautiful Mission

Crisis supervisor

Business Outlook

Pros

Frontline workers are compassionate, bright, competent and so deeply invested in their work to care for youth. There’s a wealth of knowledge, skill and lived experience within the workforce. I felt such a deep sense of belonging and love for my team members that I’ve never felt in any other role.

Cons

Completely neglectful, antagonistic and incompetent upper management. They recently hired several cisgender, older white folks to leadership positions who are laying morale and the mission to waste. They are abusive to frontline workers, condescending, and allow misconduct to run rampant throughout the org until internal uprisings occur. I was traumatized by my final months there.

Think Twice Before Woking Here as a Counselor

Pros

Passionate co-workers and I did love counseling young people. The cons below aren't their fault!!

Cons

I left the org 3 months ago and went back and forth between posting a review but I seriously can't let anyone go through what I did. I second every single thing in the 1/29/2020 review. The goal of offering 24/7/365 digital services was extremely noble but it was clear by the summer of 2019 that they did not have the capacity. There was a 3-5 hour wait then almost every time I worked. The equally long wait times my former co-workers tell me about now in these times of COVID-19 could've been prevented. You better believe I sounded the alarm that summer re: needing more staff to keep at this capacity. A large reason why so many of us left per the 1/29 review was because instead of adequately hiring more staff, we were forced to take on double the work (i.e. take 2 chats at once) with no raise in pay or benefits. Not even the health insurance we were promised and then quickly cheated out of.

Pros

Volunteering at The Trevor Project is the best decision that I ever made. I've volunteered at a lot of places and have seen a lot of different organizations, but never anything like Trevor. The people who work here are super intelligent and passionate about their work, the organization is growing faster than ever before, and we get to talk to queer and trans kids who are so beautiful and special. It's a privilege to be part of this family and recommend it all the time to everyone I know!

Cons

I love the new call center but wish there were better snacks and more opportunities to socialize and meet other volunteers and staff. There is also so much cool stuff going on at Trevor that I read about in the news or on Facebook and would love to get more frequent updates directly from staff.
