Great place to work if you're a gay white man

Business Outlook

Pros

Several colleagues who are passionate about LGBTQ youth and social justice.

Cons

Executive management (at least while I worked there) was not as culturally competent as much as the younger staff. There was also a large discrepancy in pay between the Executive Director/VPs and everyone else below. It came to a boil when the executive staff worked to trim finances seemingly everywhere but their pay.

Business Outlook

Pros

Trevor has a worthy mission, as well as many dedicated employees and volunteers. The salaries and benefits for full-time employees are competitive within the nonprofit sector. Interns and volunteers can have rewarding experiences as long as they are insulated from the toxic office culture.

Cons

Working at Trevor is a nightmare. Senior executives routinely belittle or ignore employees who voice concerns about workplace harassment. There is little transparency in decision-making, and the office is held in a constant state of fear and secrecy. During my short time there, I watched more than half of my coworkers leave. Those who lasted more than a year seldom saw opportunities for growth or promotion. Employees have little faith or trust in the human resources department. Loyalty to the CEO and a willingness to cover up mistakes is valued over honesty and basic human decency.
