Crisis in Leadership Overshadows the Mission

Mid-management

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of brilliant, lovely people have worked there (and still do work there). The cause is socially relevant and timely. The org is definitely mission driven at its core.

Cons

There is a serious crisis of (and exodus of) leadership that was revealed, in part, by a series of events that precipitated the dramatic firing of Amit Paley in November 2022. There is far too much internal instability to get anything done frankly. As a mental health organization, it is sadly ironic that, at this time, working at Trevor is exceedingly bad for one's mental health.

Awful place to work

Pros

You’re helping a community that really needs someone to listen and be there for them.

Cons

From managers that don’t know what they are doing and have no business nor credentials to be in those positions to allowing others to bully their co-workers only to let go the victims is unreal.
