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

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.
