Pros

In theory, the best part of Trevor is the intention of their "written" mission! On paper it looks good, sounds good, and is nice to say in every way. Achieving it costs donors 10X in antiquated business operations, overhead, and misuse of monetary resources.

Cons

The CEO and Executive Director micromanages and discriminates at its finest on every level within every vertical within the organization. The People Team "nka People Organization" is antiquated at every turn - every function. We are extremely eloquent at providing written explanations to flood your inbox and not answer or resolve anything to waste your time and frustrate our employees even more. We'd like to respond, but unless we have approval from CCM or DPB, we can't respond unless our response are reviewed and approved, or written for us and approved by the CEO and Executive Director. Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to get a response from the People team or why we continually ask you to resubmit a Services Ticket! Systems, Processes, and procedures are held together with "duck tape and a prayer!" Not to worry, the best part is our new CPO, DPB hired her complete regime from her past employer and brought them over to Trevor. Soon you'll start to see them all starting their first day. I'm sure all of the People team below these new VP roles are being reorganized to terminate all of us who are below them! For all existing employees, do not trust or confide in the Executive Team in any Listening Tours scheduled ---- it's all for show. DPB is not interested in improving anything, just implementing her agenda like a football team. Truly, if you're not drinking the kool aide, you will be walked out and silenced.

Well, this is tough feedback... but we're listening. As a current employee, I'm hopeful that you'll take me up on the offer to share your feedback in person, or even over email. Since I'm one of those individuals you've listed as one who will "terminate all of us who are below them," I'd like an opportunity to at least meet you and share how that is absolutely NOT the plan, but I know that we need to gain your trust first. Most importantly, as your teammate, I'd like to get to know you and your concerns better. Would you please reach out to me at trish.ferrett@thetrevorproject.org? I'll make time this week!

Pros

never worked at a non-profit that had such a laser focus on its mission. trevor is helping more lgbtq youth on its crisis services than ever before and has plans to expand the number of kids and the quality of services even more over the next few years. as a kid who grew up without knowing the trevor project existed, i am so impressed and grateful that everyone is working so hard to help even more queer and trans kids. it's definitely not easy work, but i'm grateful to work for a place that cares about being there for every single LGBTQ+ young person who needs us.

Cons

-wish we could go back to the office -hoping for more social events -would love to see more professional training
