Pros

The organization is going through a major period of growth and expansion. Many things that worked before no longer work and have to change. The senior leadership team is working to solve for a scaling company and trying to redefine expectations.

Cons

Just like with any growing organization mistakes have been made in hiring and timing of changes.

The Trevor Project Response
3y
Hey there, and thank you for your 5 star review! This is a great place to work for sure... we have amazing people who support our critical mission to save lives. When you've got a mission like we do, it's tough to slow down--the work is urgent, the need is urgent, and continues to grow. It's a major opportunity to do great things, but isn't an easy ask, either. We are listening, though--and hope that you are sharing your thoughts, concerns, AND suggestions with your direct manager and skip-level manager... and even senior leadership. If you'd like support in framing your feedback or approach, your People and Culture team is also here to listen and help! Feel free to reach out to any of us for support... you can always reach out to me, and I'll get you connected with the right folx... trish.ferrett@thetrevorproject.org

Pros

The best management and team I ever worked with doing work I appreciated with a focus on a vulnerable population.

Cons

Due to their focus being on LGBTQ youth, they are unfortunately at the mercy of trends in both politics and in philanthropy. Several rounds of layoffs happened as fewer people have maintained their conviction to protect queer youth.

Pros

The mission is one that is important and life-saving. The direct service staff is amazingly passionate and empathetic.

Cons

Upper management is completely disconnected from the mission and the severe impact the work takes on the mental health of the direct service staff. They’re running the organization as a corporation and expecting the employees who actually communicate with young people on the lines, text, or chat to act like robots.
