      Pros

      - Great place to be open and out as an LGBTQ person - Good time off/vacation balance - Team culture is amazing - these are good people who care about how you're doing - Amazing mission, and very easy to see impact of your work on the community Trevor serves

      Cons

      - The job is grueling, and you'll never have enough time to get your work done and feel good about it. You have to pick one. - Mostly hire people right out of undergrad, and pay below market average. - This role has limited growth potential. You may level up once, but it's not likely. - Burn out culture is pretty strong - I hate to say this, but the management at Trevor is really white, and they tend to promote people who think and act like them. So if you want to move up, you have to fit their mold. - Despite what some people may say - there are glass ceilings at Trevor. External hires get priority over internals for many positions.

      The Trevor Project Response

      Hey there, and thank you so much for your feedback. It's thoughtful and important for us to hear. First, we're glad that you liked the time off and vacation, and super importantly, your team. The mission is amazing, but our internal mission has to be focused on our staff. In particular, your thoughts around burn out are particularly salient. It's my first week, and I can see the hard work already... so the challenge is finding balance. We'd love to get more of your thoughts, if you're willing. Would you reach out to me at trish.ferrett@thetrevorproject.org, so we can learn more from your experiences?

      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.

      Pros

      The mission is one that is important and life-saving. The direct service staff is amazingly passionate and empathetic.

      Cons

      Upper management is completely disconnected from the mission and the severe impact the work takes on the mental health of the direct service staff. They’re running the organization as a corporation and expecting the employees who actually communicate with young people on the lines, text, or chat to act like robots.
