Pros

The people are super smart, fun and interesting. I love the mission and the organization. I feel lucky to come in to work here every day.

Cons

I'll be honest: it can be tough working in an organization where the content and topic is so serious. But there's lots of support and INCREDIBLE health insurance (100% paid for by Trevor, which is new and something I've never seen at another non-profit), which makes it a lot easier.

Pros

this is the most rewarding job i've had. i have worked in the non-profit and for-profit sectors before and this is by far the nicest and smartest group of people i have ever worked with. really impressed by the the investment in people, from the new office, to great health care benefits, to harvey milk day, which we just got off, to our new people officer. this place is growing fast and there is such an emphasis on the mission and doing work that helps lgbtq youth.

Cons

the expectations are high and it's a very fast paced atmosphere, which i actually like, but it's definitely not for everyone
