Pros

Working with children is very fun. Kids these days have so many different kinds of toys and advances in technology have helped kids gain more knowledge about things. You have a chance to see how toys have changed throughout the years from simple to futuristic. I never realized that toys sold so easily everyday to adults who had children at home. During the holidays, the store was so packed that you couldn't really have time to clean your section because you were helping customers left and right. It was a fun experience and I would work there again if I had free time.

Cons

There are so many workers that you don't really get a chance to have a lot of hours to work. During holidays, you might just be hired for a seasonal position, which means that your job may be temporary. If you are a good worker, they may ask you to stay for another season. There is a high chance that you might get called in on your days off if other workers don't show up for work. It is roughly 15-20 hours for part-time workers, which I had applied for. Working at Toys "R" Us can be quite hectic if you are not up for a challenge.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
