Great fun place

Executive Director Customer Service Transformation (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - December 8, 2021

I loved working at toys r us. The corporate office was amazing and there were many great people to work with. It's too bad the debt structure and there delay in e-commerce killed the giant

Senior Accountant (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - March 23, 2021

The roles wasn't challenging and I found myself becoming very bored in a short amount of time. Promotions were given to a select few based on favoritism versus skills.

Pros

Flexible work schedule

Cons

No upward movement

Horrible

Care Representative (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - March 22, 2021

Horrible - terrible hours, lack of respect. People are miserable - job is miserable. Pay is not great, no room for advancement, filled with kids out of college thinking they will change the world. No surprise the company folded.

Pros

Corporate events

Cons

Managers

Very pro employee

IT Project Manager, Global Operations Data Center Infrastructure Team (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - March 2, 2020

A lot of overtime hours but the management and teams were like family. Unfortunately the original Toys R Us is no longer in existence. A new TRU Brands company has taken its place however.

Company closed.

Supervisor (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - February 12, 2020

The Company closed all locations in the United States. I would still be there if it were available to me. It was a new challenge every day. The hours changed weekly.

Awful place to work

Manager Facilities Services (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - February 6, 2020

This company is now out of business although a few senior staff are making another go at it. The culture was terrible as everyone seemed selfish and snobby.

At corporate, work was great. A child's dream to work for the worlds largest toy store!

Supervisor, Risk Management (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - January 22, 2020

I worked here for a brief moment in time. And in that time it was great. A joy to support such an iconic company known for putting smiles on Children's faces.

Fun, innovative, and yes there was a pool table. Toys all around! You work at a Toy Retailer!

Cons

The company did not survive bankruptcy.

Fun, excellent place to have worked

Sr. Active Directory Architect (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - January 8, 2020

Loved my job, the kids and making sure they all had an amazing time shopping at our toy stores. management never gave up, we tried all we could to save the stores but in the end we had to close and the awesome job and memories went with the office when we closed the doors in Wayne corporate office. really miss this position was by far the best and most fun i have had in my career!

Not Good

Senior Systems Architect/Analyst - International Division (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - December 17, 2019

The first five years were ok at TRU. Things went south when TRU was purchased by a private equity. Minimal investment was put into IT. This hampered the company so it was unable to compete in the marketplace.

NERF wars and tight Deadlines

Sr. Graphic Designer (Former Employee) - Wayne, NJ - October 28, 2019

It was a fun, but super intense place to work. The place just came back from being under for over a year. New heads are in charge, so I can't speak to that. Miss it every day, though.
