Is this your company?

Sadly a beautiful mission tainted by capitalism, greed, and white supremacy. - Project Manager The Trevor Project Employee Review

Pros

The people offering front line service are truly inspiring. And to work in such a queer space was a gift. The people that show they care with their actions are some of the best you will meet. I guess the benefits are decent too.

Cons

The challenges of working here are endless. I could not tell people to stay away more if I tried. The organization is so very toxic in the culture they display. The leadership team has created a space where staff feel uncomfortable raising any concerns. The opinions and livelihoods of white staff are prioritized over BIPOC staff, regardless of position and tenure. The capitalistic mindset of the leadership at this organization is actively going against the mission and they have shown time and time again that the care they display for the queer community stops when it comes to the hundreds of people they employ. From not listening to valid concerns staff have about the services offered, to pushing unrealistic and unachievable goals and timelines, and even with the most recent layoffs while bargaining with the union - this organization does not care about you. I highly recommend you seek employment elsewhere.

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.
