Pros

Great place to feel, "gushed over" and "praised", if you need an Ego boost.

Cons

"Crisis Counselors" are minimally trained for the presented severity of the suicide problem in the LGBTQ community. Trevor advertises their services to the public as more of a general counseling service than an actual "serious" suicide prevention. TOO MANY calls are not suicide related which tires volunteers. Employees and volunteers greet each other in the LA office with extremely odd, slurpee affirmations.

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.
