Turning Point USA

Unfortunately this opportunity was misrepresented in my interview as the company was more interested in exploiting my decade of experience being a professional makeup artist for their filming studio in addition to my being the executive assistant to the 3 c-level executives at the company. However the catch was they were only willing to pay me for the EA duties and not as their hair & makeup department head. I built out the department and provide hair and makeup for the CEO and talent that was brought in with no pay. In total this averaged to about 40 hours from the evenings, nights and weekends I worked. After numerous requests to put an agreement in writing for compensation, they refused and I decided to walk away. I was over worked and underpaid and had I been a college aged student this would have been fine to work my way up but being in the professional workforce for over 15 years now i knew better. They have since lost 4 major figures at the company all within the last 3 months since I left.

TPUSA is plagued with terrible middle-management and a toxic work culture. Managers *will* gossip about you even if you stay out of trouble. Middle-management basically nepotistic and ran by children. They will absolutely not tolerate you standing up for yourself. The goals/quotas I was given were arbitrary, and when I asked for clarification or help I was always questioned and admonished. I have heard that management will sabotage your success in the organization if they do not personally like you. Please think twice before working for TPUSA. You will not have a good time.

The only benefit of the job is traveling to their events. 

TPUSA has such a great purpose and I support the movement and their values. However, the company as a whole has a catty sorority/fraternity feel. If you aren’t in with the “right” people you will not succeed or feel accepted at this company. Management has no experience or management training and are very unprofessional. You are pressured into making your job your whole life. If you don’t you are guilt tripped because “it’s more than a job it’s saving America”. You can’t go to HR about problems with management because there’s a huge gossip problem within the company. 

Temp position but was a good job nonetheless, training was fun and food was provided, leadership was attentive and adapted to meet the needs of employees, my manager was one of the most incredible people I’ve met!  The pay was more than fair and really helped me save up for my wedding. That said, it is challenging work and requires knocking on doors even in rough weather and cold calling at times. The company is compassionate about these difficulties and does their best to alleviate what they can in terms of challenges

When I came on to TPUSA I was a remote worker. They’re not very remote friendly. Often times, I was left for days or weeks without specific tasks. I offered to relocate to headquarters multiple times. Was finally offered relocation- put off for a month and a half and then laid off instead. Disappointed is an understatement as I truly believe in the mission and was willing to do anything, or work any position. Cross department collaboration and communication is definitely missing.

Very toxic management as has been said. I guess it’s the same across departments. If you disagree with them, you will get managed out. They say they will help with “performance issues,” but they give you no real practical help on how to achieve goals. Berating employees seems to be their solution to problems. This job caused so much unnecessary stress in my life. You will be on the unending hamster wheel of success if you work here.

I'll always support the movement and TPUSA's values but the company as a whole is ran by children. It's a mess. I wanted to work here to be part of something meaningful but it's just not worth it. When the average age of each staff member is about 22 and you have 25 year old directors it's not really surprising. This company could be huge if they found some adults to run the show. 

For the most part, I love my job! The customers are amazing, you can’t beat the hours (7 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.) and they have wonderful flexibility. My only con is that management is very critical of you; even the slightest mistake gets made into something huge. Asking questions only gets you scolded. But if you do your job, and you’re not too sensitive, it’s a good place to work and great money.

The department I worked for was terrible.  Very immature and catty. The leadership is inexperienced, has no management skills, and is threaten by new employees. Other departments are much better managed and less toxic. There was also a lot of pressure to make the company your entire life and if you don't you get looked down on.
