Pros

The people that are not in a management position are incredible. You will meet some of the absolute greatest humans, colleagues, queer friends, etc.

Cons

Simply put, leadership does not care about anyone other than themselves. The org has had financial trouble for some time and they continue to lay off their lowest paid employees and have not taken pay cuts themselves despite making about 6-7x what lower level employees make. There is so much work and not enough people to do the work yet they continue to lay people off, not backfill roles when individuals leave, and do not provide a single resource to assist employees in their ability to do the job of multiple people. There is also no growth. Do not expect to be promoted.. like ever. Promotions are few and far between and due to financial trouble annual COLA pay raises are a thing of the past.

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.
