Pros

In theory, the best part of Trevor is the intention of their "written" mission! On paper it looks good, sounds good, and is nice to say in every way. Achieving it costs donors 10X in antiquated business operations, overhead, and misuse of monetary resources.

Cons

The CEO and Executive Director micromanages and discriminates at its finest on every level within every vertical within the organization. The People Team "nka People Organization" is antiquated at every turn - every function. We are extremely eloquent at providing written explanations to flood your inbox and not answer or resolve anything to waste your time and frustrate our employees even more. We'd like to respond, but unless we have approval from CCM or DPB, we can't respond unless our response are reviewed and approved, or written for us and approved by the CEO and Executive Director. Have you ever wondered why it takes so long to get a response from the People team or why we continually ask you to resubmit a Services Ticket! Systems, Processes, and procedures are held together with "duck tape and a prayer!" Not to worry, the best part is our new CPO, DPB hired her complete regime from her past employer and brought them over to Trevor. Soon you'll start to see them all starting their first day. I'm sure all of the People team below these new VP roles are being reorganized to terminate all of us who are below them! For all existing employees, do not trust or confide in the Executive Team in any Listening Tours scheduled ---- it's all for show. DPB is not interested in improving anything, just implementing her agenda like a football team. Truly, if you're not drinking the kool aide, you will be walked out and silenced.

The Trevor Project Response

Well, this is tough feedback... but we're listening. As a current employee, I'm hopeful that you'll take me up on the offer to share your feedback in person, or even over email. Since I'm one of those individuals you've listed as one who will "terminate all of us who are below them," I'd like an opportunity to at least meet you and share how that is absolutely NOT the plan, but I know that we need to gain your trust first. Most importantly, as your teammate, I'd like to get to know you and your concerns better. Would you please reach out to me at trish.ferrett@thetrevorproject.org? I'll make time this week!

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.
