Teachers Pay Teachers

This was a great opportunity for me to be able to use my creativity and knowledge of the curriculum and my past teaching experience to list online lessons for sale.  In order to do this, you have to be able to teach yourself about online marketing, creating products with a wide-range of appeal, being able to study the sales, views, conversion rate, etc and use  those statistics to increase your online sales.  Also, it is is important to communicate with your customers and make sure they are satisfied because if  a customer isn't satisfied or is upset with the quality of work, they won't buy again from you.  So, it is important to create quality products, reasonably priced, and be able to know how and when to market certain products and to whom

TPT provided decent healthcare, PTO, and wellness benefits. 

Unfortunately, my time at TPT marred by a toxic and cliquey work culture. 

There were numerous instances of unprofessional behaviors, and it seemed that office politics played a significant role in decision-making as well as promotions. 

There was a huge lack of trust in our directors, which stemmed from their poor communication, inconsistencies, favoritism, and lack of transparency. 

Productivity and morale were significantly impacted by this, and it was hard to maintain a positive work environment.

There was a huge lack of diversity and inclusion, which came from many different forms such as race, age, and even personality. 

It would have been great if senior management took HR complaints seriously, but unfortunately I think many of the logs from TPT were not given to IXL upon the acquisition. 

Teachers Pay Teachers is an excellent workplace. Employees are well compensated and co-workers are phenomenal. Even contractors feel like part of the team, and management is always supportive no matter what issues you're dealing with. Dealing with customers can be annoying however, and the work can be tedious because it's often very repetitive. The workload can sometimes be overwhelming, but this is balanced out by the awesome team and good pay. Overall, this is a great job if you're looking for something temporary, or are passionate about education and helping teachers. 

Teachers Pay Teachers is a website where you can create and post materials for sale at your leisure. It is a great way to make some extra income on the side. Even if your design is dormant online people can still purchase it.

I didn't hate working there nor did I love working there. There was a fair balance of work/life. The people in the company were ok but there wasn't much genuine communication with other departments. Seemed to be very segregated at times.

This is not a job that you make money quick. You need to create your own, unique resources that will only sell (on average) $3 a pop. Takes time, but if you are dedicated and have the time, it can pay off though that is not a guarantee.

TpT is a great company and platform for selling educational products that help teachers connect with their students. The ability to create and sell remotely allows for flexibility in the work/home balance.

I worked as a manager at TPT for over a year. My team was great, cared deeply about work-life balance, and having fun. There were issues with frequent changes in direction and needing multiple layers of approval for the simplest decisions. 

I enjoyed my time at TPT. They purchased the company I worked at and they welcomed me in. When they were bought out by another company, that company laid off over half of the staff all on one day.
