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

this year has been HARD. that's why i'm so grateful to be at trevor. this organization has really worked hard to support employees even with covid and the financial downturn. we got more time off, pay raises, social events (love the people ops organized virtual coffee chats!) and professional development through a place called lifelabs that i really liked. so happy to be at a place where i feel valued and get to do important work for kids in need.

Cons

i'd like to see more lunch & learns. they are so great and i would appreciate even more.
