Literally A place for all ages
Stock & Assemble (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: kids, toys, hours, pay
Cons: not many breaks
I loved coming to work being able to assemble toys, put together the theme for the store during holidays or jus for fun. I especially loved seeing the kids come and tear the store apart and begging they parents for a toy it reminded me of how i drove my mom crazy now i could buy my own toys. It was so busy i often didn't get to get a closer bond with – more...  my managers i knew they were there, They were like strict parents you only approached when you needed them. The hardest part of the job was closing at nights or holidays when the kids have torn down neat piles or decorations. Most enjoyable part was knowing the newest toys when they came in and being able to purchase them first if you had the money and getting to relate with kids when they come in trying to buy the same toy. – less

Productive and fast pace, enjoyable
Assistant Manager (Current Employee), Midlothian, TX –
Pros: they have a pool table in the break room
Cons: cannot further my career without college degree
A typical day includes assigning tasks to anywhere from 25 to 30 associates and maintaining a safe and clean work space. make sure the processing department runs smoothly. Fix any issues that arise. Run reports, update spreadsheets and help other departments when needed. My co-workers are great. I enjoy working with them every day. The hardest part – more...  of the job is not being able to further my career because of college education. Over my time here my communications and computer skills have advanced. I learned a voice picking system wich improves accuracy. – less

It's a toy store - it's fun.
Cashier (Former Employee), Dothan, AL –
Toys R Us has a lively environment. Management/employees are always friendly. I worked during the Christmas season; therefore, it was consistently busy. I learned how to operate a cash register, properly stock, and deal with irritated customers.

Hard work, low pay
Receiver (Former Employee), Sterling, MI –
Pros: everyone works christmas eve, oh wait that's not a pro. none
Cons: feelings of worthlessness, self loathing.
This was some of the hardest work for the lowest pay that I have ever received in my life. It was a typical retail environment geared at intimidating first time seasonal employees with their unrealistic battery, credit card and extended warranty quotas that had to be met or your hours would be cut. The unrealistic expectations extended into the warehouse – more...  where you were asked to unpack and stock a semi trailers worth of good in a completely unrealistic amount of time, all the while being berated by a manager who would do anything but help. It was the only work I could find while going to school and the only good that come out of it was that I worked that much harder to get good grades so I could get my degree and escape the giraffe's tyranny. – less

Productive and Fun
Sales Assistant (Former Employee), Ipswich –
Pros: friendly co-workers
Cons: not enough hours available, short term employment
As soon as I arrived, within minutes I knew what I was doing, and as soon as my manager knew I was in, he came and found me to say what I was covering today.

Everyone was very friendly to me, and I do wish I was able to stay there longer than a christmas temp.

I worked only during the holiday season and it was very hectic. I loved the high paced work because I never got bored. I had to deal with customers who were very stressed during this time but it was completely understandable.

Productive and fun work place
Sales (Former Employee), Livonia, MI –
Pros: 10% discount
Cons: healthcare, temperary
It was a good working environment. On a average day we would have alot of people in the store because of the holiday,which means we were very busy. Working there i learned how to deal with customers better and to be more patient with them. The management was great and so were my co-workers, we all were on the same page.The hardest part about to job – more...  having to know by heart where all the the toys went when doin reshop. The most enjoyable part of the job was when the store got packed and i had to get the lay-ways. – less

Productive and a fun workplace
Cashier/Sales Associate (Current Employee), Brooklyn,NY –
A typical day at work is coming in you greet them, making sure the customer is satisfy with what they are purchasing in the store and most importantly be friendly. I learned a lot with the different products we have in store for when a customer comes in and needs help, i will know it. I also learned that being friendly and nice will always make a customer – more...  feel comfortable and wanting to come back and shop. Management at Babies R Us is real good. There is always a time for play but they always make sure everything gets done in store and greeting the customer and being friendly is the most important one. The most enjoyable part of the job to me is actually seeing the customer have a smile on their face after helping them with something. It makes me feel good that i could put a smile on there face and have them walk out the store wanting to come back. – less

Retail, not where it's at.
Inventory Control and Merchandiser (Former Employee), Los Angeles, CA –
Pros: it's a toy store. what's better than that?
Cons: retail- low sales=low hours.
Toys R Us isn't a place for people who are just trying to get by unless your going to make it a career choice. It's more geared toward the younger set not the older worker set. I can't say I hated it because everyday I went to work I felt like a kid in a candy store. The management was plagued with the normal problems that besiege any workforce from – more...  corporate demands. This job is cool if your in high school and just looking to get your feet wet. For an old timer like myself Toys R Us doesn't fit the bill do to the lack of hours and benifits but I guess that's I'm retooling my skill sets and I will say This much I am thankful to them for at lease giving me a chance after being out of work for so long. – less

Stocker (Former Employee), Pinole, CA –
Pros: half hour brake only
Cons: buy your own lunch
I was a Sales rep-I had to explain to the costumer that day what was on sale and where to find it, floor rep-I had to represent the merchandise an find its secure area, price checker- i had to find the sale and replace it with a new sticker then it is placed on the merchandise to let the costumer know about the product and where they can find it, a – more...  boxer that's when i worked in the back room an took all the shipment of the trucks an u got to keep track of the numbers or you could end up with someone else s shipment.there were a lot of workers there who didn't have time to have fun they were working hard just like i was. most of them pulled double shift an worked a lot longer than me. The hardest part of the job was finding something to do when your done with your task. The most joyable part of the day was working at Toys R Us thats every kids dream an i got to do it for a little while. – less
