Pros

It is a company that is undergoing some big changes in corporate structure. More integrated (Toys R Us and Babies R Us) Super Side-by-Sides will be opening. This is giving more room for career advancement. Full-time associates get Atena Insurance. It is very good. Part time associates can also get a limited health insurance called Starbridge. It is normally a fun place to work, I enjoy it.

Cons

The constant pushing of associates to sell instant credits, buyer protection plans, batteries, etc. There is a lot of pressure. There is no standing around. Whether you are at a register, or on the floor, there will be tasks to be completed on your "down time." After January, everyone's hours get cut, even the full time associates. Making it through January until May on fewer hours in hard.

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.
