Pros

Organization that is doing great thing.

Cons

I came to Trevor with an optimistic outlook into an organization that is doing wonders in it's field. Little do many know, it's falling apart inside. Most employees that leave, leave dissatisfied and with a foul taste in their mouth, and feel like they we're stepped on repeatedly. An overhaul in management is necessary for the organization to go back to it's nonprofit roots. Coming from previously working in seveal other non-profit ranging from under 20 employees to over 300+ employees, Trevor has no idea what it's doing to it's staff. Most of the staff or overworked, underpaid (due to recent HR changes), and constantly treated badly by upper management. All they care about is how much money donors can bring in, even if it compromises the work that they do in the services they provide. They want to grow big, fast, without first making sure they are able too, and they push this pressure onto their staff. They also aren't looking to ever promote from within. Many employees have applied for open postions which they are qualified from via the job postings, but were shut down for random and unfair reasons. Even after they weren't even offered an interview, the jobs remained open for months after. Poor HR is mainly to blame for this. At the time, HR was awful about even recognizing receiving applications from current employees, and even rejecting candidates because they were recommended by staff. Recently changes in the Healthcare plan were done poorly. Although Trevor is an LGBTQ organization, the healthcare plan disregarded the Trans issues. Staff who are trans were no longer able to get the medical treatment and benefits they received from the previous plan (another bad HR move) because Trevor saw it more beneficial to save a couple dimes than look out for their staff. They've also recently changed job titles for open positions to lower ones so that they can pay incoming staff less, while adding more responsibilities. If you take a job at Trevor be weary of your title, and ask for more than they are offering because they have the budget to pay more, they just aren't.

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.
