Pros

Some of the staff working there are good people and good colleagues. There is a 20 word minimum for this section, but there aren't 20 words worth of pros.

Cons

The above does not hold true for upper management. Ever since Abbe has taken over, the focus of the organization has shifted from helping LGBTQ+ youth in crisis to promoting the interests of the upper management. The CEO is a politician, and Trevor is very good for her image (and her wallet- she makes over 200,000 a year; the people answering the calls are paid either nothing or ~15/hr depending on the time they take calls). All of her directors have similar motives. They offer some of the worst available mental health coverage for their employees. Middle and upper management repeatedly hire friends for positions they are unqualified for.

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.
