Pros

Many dedicated junior and midlevel staff contribute to a beautiful mission. Very intelligent, hard-working people.

Cons

As noted in other places, the Executives “we all pass the paper-bag test” of a leadership is so incredibly toxic to BIPOC, disabled, trans, and junior staff that they will be the downfall to what could be a beautiful organization. When I resigned, I wrote a four page letter listing all of the problems with specific solutions. Sadly, I can guarantee you it will go nowhere. They spent most of my time being disparaging to Black brilliance. The only way you’ll “make it” is if you don’t push back on leadership and their obviously myopic vision for (white) LGBTQ youth. Trust me, the push for unionizing is not a surprise to anyone paying attention. I had to contact employment discrimination attorneys based when I realized a constructive discharge could be forthcoming. The hostile work environment wasn’t enough, I suppose. I knew it was time for me to leave when I seemingly had — or was attempted to be forced — to compromise values I’m not willing to compromise in order to lead Trevor. I also became incredibly popular among staff — many who wanted me be the new CEO after our previous one was forcibly removed. I’ve realized one thing: I cannot care about organizations doing better more than its alleged leadership. Even being in meetings sometimes — my goodness. We can raise something obviously intersectional and it would genuinely be ignored or face pushback. This is why I genuinely cannot recommend donating or working there. In the end, The Trevor Project is not a safe space for marginalized communities. Disparate application of many things and they all know it. What will be, what be. They’re petty. We also know that.

Grateful to work here

Pros

This is the best team I have ever worked with, at literally every level of the org. Everyone has been so supportive in the transition to WFH and really grateful for the extra personal day and sick time they gave after COVID-19. All the recent People Ops initiatives around culture and support have been really inspiring and needed. The no-premium health care and benefits are unprecedented--never seen anything like it at any nonprofit I've worked at and really appreciate that they extended it to part-time folx too.

Cons

It's been really hard to work from home, but appreciate everything that has been to try and make it as good as possible. Would appreciate even more virtual social events.

Pros

Staff is always there for you, and I really felt supported through all of my tough conversations. Very understanding and supportive when it comes to your own self care. Love the snacks! (I mean, when we can be in the office). Really impressed by what is being done to support WFH during this coronavirus crisis.

Cons

No major ones, I just wish we could get back to the office! I miss everyone.
