Pros

Trevor does great work and provides hope for countless LGBTQ young people.

Cons

Trevor's current board chair keeps a firm grip on the organization and actively micro manages the day to day operations. Recently, it was announced that the board selected one of its own as the new CEO. This move should indicate that the board wants to be more involved in operations. Trevor will most likely continue to do good work, but the striking management choices and turnover at the executive and VP level should be acknowledged, especially for those seeking employment within the organization.

Pros

Some of the staff working there are good people and good colleagues. There is a 20 word minimum for this section, but there aren't 20 words worth of pros.

Cons

The above does not hold true for upper management. Ever since Abbe has taken over, the focus of the organization has shifted from helping LGBTQ+ youth in crisis to promoting the interests of the upper management. The CEO is a politician, and Trevor is very good for her image (and her wallet- she makes over 200,000 a year; the people answering the calls are paid either nothing or ~15/hr depending on the time they take calls). All of her directors have similar motives. They offer some of the worst available mental health coverage for their employees. Middle and upper management repeatedly hire friends for positions they are unqualified for.
