Pros

The mission is a great one.

Cons

The ED lacks vision, compassion, and probably a soul. It's not true that "people who can't get with a fast-growing company can't make it here." Actually people who are succeeding at growing their department at The Trevor Project are treated poorly, while people who don't achieve at all but are silent about issues that matter, and people with long track records of poor treatment of minorities, women, and people of color are rewarded. See point #1.

Terrible, unethical leadership

Pros

Fantastic mission, some of the most incredbile, creative colleauges I've ever worked with. Wonderful donors and partners who truly believe in the mission and are trying to make meaningful change for LGBTQ+ young people. Good pay and benefits. A meaningful and thoughtful approach to remote work.

Cons

Don't even think about applying here. Before you do, talk to anyone who has left in the last 2 years. And trust me, there is a HUGE pool of people that fit that criteria. A lot of people work here incredibly inefficiently and those in charge are inefficient and are not using trusted donor funds appropriately. This organization grew too big, too fast, with the wrong people at the helm. Too many folks in leadership who don't understand the nonprofit business model, fundraising specifically, who are spending recklessly and not budgeting appropriately. This means the entire organization doesn't operate in a fundraising-centric manner, and the organization is running out of money fast. Trevor will not survive with the current leadership, with an aloof and uninvolved board of directors, and specifically Peggy and Gina (CEO and COO), who have no clue what they are doing and are not being held accountable with unchecked power. Peggy is so incompetent, unqualified and ego-driven she cannot fathom the harm she is doing to the organization and ultimately the young people who need this service. Why is an "interim CEO" there for almost two years? The head of HR, Michelle, is equally incompetent and competent leaders can't do anything for their staff that they want and should. Anyone who is "successul" here just tells Peggy what she wants to hear out of fear of being fired. They have archaic finance systems that, if audited, would likely be detrimental to the organization, so who knows what is really happening with trusted donor funds.
