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.

Pros

The Trevor Project is building a foundation that allows staff to have important and sometimes tough conversations around things like DEI, work-life blend, and real-life events that affect staff. Combining this with the vital mission that The Trevor Project carries out, it all makes the org such a fulfilling place to work at.

Cons

Like most orgs TTP is figuring out its own path as it is growing exponentially in size and revenue. This attributes to the 'growing pains' that comes with the growth. The org is aware of its need to move faster on certain pieces and has shown the capability and intentionality to continue improving on everyone's Trevor journey.
