Pros

Some good things included the passionate coworkers and the meaningful, impactful work. The organization has its heart in the right place, although I disagreed with some of the methods and procedures.

Cons

There was not enough emotional support of crisis workers to combat the second hand trauma of the job. Burn out was high. Decisions were made high up in the organization without listening to the counselors' direct experience and that was very frustrating.

Pros

The Trevor Project is the best place I've worked. The people are super passionate, super smart, and fun to be around. The atmosphere here is really fastpaced and I've never worked in an org growing so quickly, so focused on innovation, with a laser focus on scaling to help more LGBTQ youth in crisis. Really glad to see the focus on hiring more folks, investing in more programming, and growing out the People team.

Cons

The work can be really difficult. There's no way around that. The subject matter is tough and we hear from the kids who are really struggling every day. Wish the Crisis Services Team and People Ops team were bigger--glad to see the focus on really investing in people though hoping more roles can be brought on soon. We really need that full time recruiter here. Like yesterday. And I loved the happy hour last month but hope we have waaaay more social events in the future.
